Welcome 1 The second largest borough in London, Hillingdon offers over 200 green spaces that cover approximately 1,800 acres. Whether you want a quiet place to sit and think, somewhere for the whole family to spend the day, or outdoor sports facilities to enjoy and benefit from, Hillingdon offers something for everyone. Across the borough, there are formal gardens, town parks and informal nature conservation and country parks, as well as over 100 children’s play areas. We currently have six green flag sites, a National Nature Reserve at Ruislip Woods, and over 40 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINCs), all of which are open to the public. The council and local groups have worked together over several years to provide the information for this booklet. Our sites appeal to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, whatever their interests. Details on the Healthy Walks mentioned in this booklet can be viewed on our website, obtained from your local library or requested from the green spaces team. We welcome all feedback, which we will use to help us update promotional information and enhance the borough’s green spaces for everyone to enjoy. We hope you enjoy this introduction to a sample of some of the large and smaller sites available in the borough. For more information on our green spaces or walks, and for details of events throughout the year, visit the green spaces website.
