About Wimbledon Sprinkler Park
Escape the city and head to Wimbledon Park - one of Merton's largest and most loved green spaces, and home to one of London's best free family days out. Whether you're chasing the kids through water jets or lounging on the grass with a picnic, there's something here for every member of the family - and it won't cost you a penny to get in.
The Splash Pad
The star of the show for little ones is the interactive splash pad, open each summer from June through to September. With water jets, misters, fountains, and interactive buttons and levers that let kids control the flow, it's the kind of water play area that keeps children entertained for hours. There are six paddling pools and two interactive play areas, so even on busy days there's plenty of room to splash about. Parents can settle on the surrounding grassy areas and keep a relaxed eye on the fun.
Wimbledon Sprinkler Park is completely free to enter - no tickets, no booking, no catch. Just turn up, let the kids loose on the water jets, fountains, and interactive splash features, and enjoy one of London's best budget-friendly days out. With six paddling pools and two interactive play areas, there's plenty of room for everyone even on the busiest summer days.
The water play might be the headline act, but Wimbledon Park has a full supporting cast. Tennis courts, beach volleyball, adventure golf, an athletics track, a bowling green, and a watersports centre on the lake - there's enough here to fill a whole day without spending a fortune. Pack a picnic, grab a coffee from the on-site café, and let the kids pick their next activity.
Wimbledon Park's large lake isn't just a pretty backdrop - it's home to the Wimbledon Park Watersports and Outdoor Centre, running kayaking, sailing, and paddleboarding sessions from March through to December. Perfect for older kids and teenagers who want something more adventurous after the splash pad, and a brilliant reason to make this a full family day out rather than just a quick visit.
