Notes

Managed as part of Hampstead Heath. The on-lead requirement makes this a good option for reactive or poorly recalled dogs. Golders Green on the Northern line is a 14-minute walk. Car park has eight bays for Blue Badge holders only, open 7.30am to dusk Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays. Three accessible toilets; Golders Hill Park Cafe; children's playground and a zoo/animal enclosure. Coordinates not recorded - the Wikipedia lookup returned none.
