Hyde Park offers a range of leisure activities from informal games of frisbee through to boating on The Serpentine and horse riding.
Informal Sport in the Park
Most pitch-based sports activity tends to take place on the southern section of the Park between Rotten Row and South Carriage Drive. This area, known as The Sports Field, is used extensively for informal games of football, touch rugby, cricket, softball, rounders and frisbee.
Cycling (and related activities such as roller-blading and skateboarding) is allowed on all roads and specially designated cycle tracks in the Park.
The paths and grass areas in Hyde Park are also used extensively for walking, jogging and running.
The Serpentine Lido and its accompanying paddling pool are great for both adults and children. With its waterside tables, it is the ideal place to enjoy a snack, meal or a glass of wine. For swimming, off peak and concession rates for people on low incomes are available as well as reductions for children.
Hyde Park Tennis & Sports Centre
The Centre is located at the western end of the Sports Field at the junction between West Carriage Drive and South Carriage Drive.
The Centre provides high quality tennis facilities and is accredited by the Lawn Tennis Association. People are encouraged to turn up and play while, for regular players, a range of membership options are available. Coaching courses are run for children and for adults. Tournaments are organised and teams can also play in local tennis leagues.
The bowling green (or an individual rink) is available to individuals, families, groups of friends or established clubs to hire on request and can be pre-booked.
The Centre also has a challenging and well maintained putting course, popular with both groups and families.
