This park sounds like a wonderful escape from the bustle of city life. It's great to hear that it's a hidden local treasure - those are often the best kind of parks to visit, as they tend to be less crowded and offer a more intimate experience. The mention of the park's size is interesting - it sounds like it may not be very large, but the paths have been well-planned to create a sense of wildness and natural beauty. I can imagine how enjoyable it must be to stroll along these paths, taking in the sounds of birds singing and leaves rustling in the wind. It's also worth noting that the park is still in London, so there is a reminder of the city's presence in the form of tube noise. However, I don't think this would detract too much from the overall experience, as it's still possible to feel immersed in nature and forget about the outside world for a little while. Overall, this park sounds like a great place to visit for anyone looking for a peaceful and natural setting within the city. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!.

An intersection of triangular land between Chiswick Park Station (Bollo Lane), Gunnersbury Station and the freight line of the Dudding Hill Line aka Acton Curve Railway closed in 1902. Of approximately 3 acres. And untouched by man since the building of the railways and taken back by nature as a wet acidic woodland Carr (fen). It was the 1st place in the UK where the outcry of the local population put a stop to development giants through public inquiry of building upon it in 1981. And in 1983 the public won! It was wired off. By 1985 it was taken over by the London Wildlife Trust backed by the then Greater London Council. Now Hounslow and Ealing Councils as it borders with both. It was then designated as a local nature reserve. It now houses an education and visitor centre. Has visiting schools and community groups as well as open to the public in general. To which it hosts fungi forays, wildlife talks and walks, throughout it's mostly wet woodland, ponds and acidic grassland. I recognise that it has a valuable place to play in the education of cityfolk. But in my humble opinion (of one of the then locals who originally campaigned to save it.) Also feel that it should have been left to the wildlife with no human intervention. As it was doing just fine without mankind's intervention. It was the oldest untouched wee lot of land by man and should have been left as such! It is not wheelchair accessible. The ground dips and swells unevenly. I recommend that you take sturdy walking boots or wellies. Entrance is on Bollo Lane. Volunteers are always welcomed. Here is a plethora of biodiversity of both flora and fauna including, bats, foxes, sparrowhawks, bank voles, wood mice, stagbeetles, dragonflies, hoverflies, grasshoppers, fungi, butterflies and moths. Now it is classified as a IUCN = An International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Re it's natural environment and biodiversity of nature and thus recognised on a global scale by national governments and international bodies such as the United Nations and the Conservation on Biological Diversity. So it has come a long way since it's humble public outcry of the early 1980's. There is a lesson for everyone reading this and that is ; power to the people! 😂 In close proximity to Chiswick Park Station on the District Line.
