Why it's Wildland
5.4A landscaped green space on the edge of Hampstead Heath, with a walled garden, stumpery, bandstand, playground and small zoo.
Golders Hill Park is more than a lawn-and-playground stop: its walled garden, stumpery and zoo give a short visit several distinct things to explore. It is a well-equipped city park rather than a wild landscape.
