Walpole Park
Walpole Park sits at the edge of Ealing Broadway, behind Pitzhanger Manor House. Ealing Council lists surrounding roads including Culmington Road, Mattock Lane, Ealing Green Street, Windermere Road, Lammas Park Gardens and Disraeli Road. It says the park was once part of the estate grounds of the house now known as Pitzhanger Manor, which stands on the north-east side of the park.
The council says that in 1800 the manor house and about 28 acres of land were sold to the architect John Soane, who redesigned the house as his country residence. It also says the park hosts the Ealing Summer Festival, and it points readers to the Pitzhanger Manor House and Gallery website for further details about the park. Paths and facilities can change; follow on-site signs.

Ealing Common and other parks
Ealing Common is open parkland. The council says the entrance is on Uxbridge Road, just east of the town centre and the South Circular, and that there are public toilets. It names Ealing Common station, on the District line, and Ealing Broadway station, on the Central and District lines, as nearby Underground stations.
Lammas Park is described by the council as a formal park of 25 acres. The council says its name comes from lammas land, on which manor tenants could graze cattle after a harvest in medieval times. It gives entrances on Culmington Road, Elers Road, Northfields Avenue and Clovelly Road, lists a nature area, bowling greens, a croquet pitch, tennis courts, a junior football pitch, a playground and a playcentre, and says the park is locked overnight.
Pitshanger Park is in the Brent River Park. The council gives access from Bellevue Road, Scotch Common, Argyle Road, Perivale Lane and Meadvale Road, and says the River Brent runs along its north side.
The council's page of other parks in Ealing also names Blondin Park, Dean Gardens, Drayton Green, Fox Wood, Hanger Hill Park, Montpelier Park and Bramley Gardens. Dean Gardens and Drayton Green are described in our West Ealing guide. The council locates Bramley Gardens in Northfields, next to Northfields Library, and says it is free to enter. Except where it specifies otherwise, the council says these parks are open all the time. Paths and facilities can change; follow on-site signs.
The same council page also describes Gunnersbury Park, which it says is jointly run by Ealing and Hounslow councils, with the entrance on Popes Lane, Acton W3 8LQ. There is more, including the museum's own prices and hours, in our cheap and free family days out guide.
