    Barking Park is a gem in the heart of Barking. Well-kept grounds the cleaning staff always smiling and pleasant as you do your early morning walk. Seeing the Squirrels run by your feet. The boating lake with the Ducks and Swans the Crows and Wood Pigeons flying and feeding on the grounds, as you cycle, walk, or run around the grounds. There is a large play area for kids close to the swimming pool.

    Barking park is one of my fourite parks, they have a stream of water going from one end to the other with swans, ducks and other birds.. The squirrels are super friendly and its quite peaceful sitting here or just going for walks. There are places for sports like tennis and large grass areas as well as a cafe and children's area. They have free parking and nicely designed parts of the park as well. The pathways are big and they have more than enough benches.

    (Translated by Google) Squirrels that you can feed and many thieves can attack you in a car even during the day if you have bags/luggage, an electric scooter or a bicycle, most young people under 16 have a group to attack you. There are NO surveillance devices / other options. Thirsty for money (Original) Veverite la care poti sa le dai mancare si multi hoti cere te pot ataca char si pe timp de zi daca ai genti/bagaje scuter electric sau bicicleta majoritatea tineri sub 16 ani tin grup sa te atace. NU sunt dispozitive de supravegere / alte optiuni. Sete de bani
