Today, it provides a vital recreational area for Londoners and tourists alike, offering everything from leisurely walks and picnics to sporting activities and theatrical performances at the Open Air Theatre. Its carefully curated gardens, like Queen Mary's Gardens with its stunning rose collection, provide pockets of beauty within the wider parkland, making it a cherished and multifaceted London escape.
