Parks and open spaces
Hillingdon is the second largest borough in London with over 200 green spaces covering approximately 1,800 acres.
Whether you want a quiet place to sit and think, somewhere for the whole family to spend the day, or outdoor sports facilities to enjoy and benefit from, Hillingdon offers something for everyone.
Across the borough, there are formal gardens, town parks and informal nature conservation and country parks, as well as over 100 children's play areas. We currently have sixteen green flag sites, a National Nature Reserve at Ruislip Woods, and over 40 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs), all of which are open to the public.
