As you walk through the gates of Morden Hall Park you leave behind the hectic pace of South London and step into a peaceful country estate with a watermill, city farm, wetland boardwalk and gorgeous river.

There are ducks everywhere, perfect picnic spots, beautiful bridges, and two play areas.

 

Natural Play Area

Morden Hall Park (National Trust)This area has:

  • a zip wire
  • balance course
  • basket swing
  • tyre swings
  • platforms
  • willow tunnels.

 

 

The Storyboat

Morden Hall Park Boardwalk and Pond Dipping (National Trust)The other is the Storyboat – a wooden boat surrounded by wooden sculptures of an eel, a beetle, a vole, a trout and a dragonfly.

It can be used for free play or a chasing game suggested on one of the boards called ‘Eels Out’.

The Boardwalk

There is also a pond dipping platform halfway along the boardwalk.
