Disappointingly there was no Lady Isabella Gardner who started planting exotic flowers here on her return from even more exotic locations. The name Isabel simply means grey, yellow soil of this enclosed area because this is how this boggy, soggy area looked like few centuries ago. But now it's definitely a Bella as Italian would say. This little park within a park has a biodiversity of mini botanical garden. Other than the local trademark ancient oak trees, bluebell, daffodils flowers, there are chestnut, strawberry trees, fungi, many species of butterflies ???? moths and other little animals that come out only at night. And with a free entry for everyone, this is as good as it can get.

Nestled in the heart of suburbia is a forgotten wildlife haven. Officially recorded as the Raeburn Open Space, this 5 hectare site is made up of a mosaic of habitat types including native deciduous woodland, a small stream known as the Tolworth Brook & some scrub land. A new 3 year project started in 2017 to enhance this wildlife haven & community space with a new bridge & dipping pond.

Fishponds Park, Surbiton is 19 acres fronted by the Ewell Road but with additional entrances from Hollyfield Rd, King Charles Rd & Mayberry Place. A brickworks in 1880 with Manor House, the land was purchased by the council & became a municipal park. There are 3 ponds linked by a pump & stream system, a grass meadow, rose beds, a 'dell' area, mature specimen trees & large grass amenity areas.
Fishponds Park continues to be an amazing local green space to be able to visit and relax in. Every time I visit, whether alone or with friends or family, I realise how lucky we are to have this council owned space with a wonderful community group committed to improving it. The work volunteers have done is brilliant and my family is excited to see how it will improve. Keep up the great work!

Great place for long walks. Lots of hills and mud tracks. Definitely will go back hopefully next time walking all the way to Ruislip lido.

The Old Deer Park is NOT THE SAME as Richmond Park!! The fact that Richmond Park has deer in it doesn't make it Old Deer Park which is next to Kew Gardens!
