Sunny Hill Park

It is a large hilly park, 22 hectares,[1] mainly grassed, which has extensive views to the north and the west.

Together with the neighbouring Hendon Churchyard, it is a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation.

In 1921 Hendon Council purchased 16 acres for a park, which opened in 1922, and in 1929 it was enlarged when further land was acquired.
