Ealing Borough parks
The London Borough of Ealing has an impressive 148 Parks and green spaces that reflect the character of their area. Ealing Parks Foundation manages these spaces. The foundation is an independent charity working with local communities and groups to support and enhance the Borough’s green spaces. Ealing Borough consists of seven towns. The borough was united in the 1960s to form one of London’s most recent and diverse boroughs. These towns, which all have their own character and needs, are Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Greenford, Northolt, Perivale and Southall. Find out more about where the Ealing parks names came from.
