Parklife Café - Harrow Weald Recreation Ground in Harrow

Truly unique. Never received such heart warming service and delicious food always made with care. The staff share kindness and charisma which is very welcoming.

I cannot praise this Community Cafe, which is run with the help of volunteers, enough. The lady who runs it makes almost everything from fresh. This includes the breads, Sourdough Pizza Crust, Cakes, Cookies, Scones and all of the savouries (including vegan chorizo). Service is a bit slow, but that's to be expected when everything is made fresh to order. Taking that into account, everything that we have eaten here is delicious & perfectly cooked & comes up hot & fresh. Please support this community cafe. You will be glad that you tried it.

I only popped in for a drink with a Dear friend, as it was a hot day. I will definitely be popping back in the future. It has nice friendly staff, really nice ambience. I love the decor, beautiful art done by amazingly talented local artist, which can be purchased.

Just finished my first meal here and have to say I'm very impressed, the food was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again. The American lemonade was on point also.

Great space nice coffee and food Great event's

Gen of a cafe with amazing service and delicious hearty food. Loved the herbs and tomatoes growing in the seating area in the back, will certainly return for brunch

A café with a difference. Wide range of food choices and always friendly service in a unique park location.

Love every minute at the Parklife Café. It's quirky, with extremely tasty food. The staff are polite and friendly at all times. Love the woman who takes the orders (Angie). Always accommodating with a smile and plenty of chit chat. Amazed at her attention to detail and remembering customer habits. This café is adorned with art and craft items, which can be bought. With an outdoor area that is covered, overlooking the park, which has unusual items that catch your eyes. You have the choice of dining in the main café or in the outdoor area. Dogs are also welcome at this café with free water and dog biscuits available. The café can also be hired out, tables can be booked in advance as well. I would highly recommend this café as the ethos of this place seems to put the community at its heart.

Peaceful and excellent ambient atmosphere. I would certainly go there anytime soon. Having breakfast and watching a greenery scene was fantastic. Would recommend anybody to go there as food is awesome too not forgetting to mention friendly staffs. 5 star 🌟

Lovely chilled place, good food and proper tea! Gluten free options Yay! Nice atmosphere.

An eclectic cafe with more personality than space. Expect good food, unusual activities (why not paint a rock whilst waiting for your breakfast), art on the walls, and a lovely view over the park.

Lovely spot, warm, community feel. The staff are really friendly and authentic. There seemed to regular customers and new ones, all greeted the same. Coffee was nice - we didn’t eat but the selection of cakes looked great. Also sells local art and trinkets. Great to see it busy on a Sunday morning!

This is the cutest cafe with amazingly friendly staff. If you're looking for a place to feel at home, you've found it. Try the chocolate peanut slice and thank me later!

I have always cherished my visits to this establishment and have previously spoken highly of it. However, today's experience was markedly different. Despite approaching with a general inquiry, I was met with unexpected hostility and anger from Rachel. Regardless of the circumstances, there is always an appropriate and respectful manner in which to communicate. Regrettably, the atmosphere and treatment I encountered have led me to reconsider future visits. I appreciate your time, but unfortunately, I no longer feel inclined to return.

Such a lovely experience. Took our 4 year old granddaughters there and sat inside. They were spoilt rotten by Rachel and her lovely son, who were so accommodating and helpful. Highly recommended for a great cup of coffee and a hot chocolate for our granddaughters.

What a gem, lovely atmosphere friendly and welcoming staff. We had the wild mushrooms and egg on toast, which came with a salad. Nice to have a gluten free meal that was tasty and filling.

The barista very sweetly gave me and my mother little chalk rocks with wet colours to make our own designs. We didn't expect it but we were largely delighted. She also puts her heart (literally) into those coffees. Other things she can draw include dragons too. Only negative was that the place could be given more love in regards to cleanliness. (And the lack of diet sugar) Great memorable visit regardless!

What a vibe this place feels like home away from home

The perfect local cafe, great food, lovely owners and fab warm atmosphere

Best people in Harrow, worth a weekly visit to recharge your batteries

First time visiting & so impressed with the warm welcome and delicious food. Such quirky inclusive vibe. Will definitely be back 👌🏽

Happened upon this little gem quite by accident when we discovered the local chippy had gone. What a silver lining! Lovely atmosphere, excellent and friendly serving folks, beautiful art showcased and best of all really yummy vegan food! Will definitely be visiting again. Card prints of artworks were available which was an added bonus.

This is a lively little community cafe in between Harrow Weald bus station and the park. It doubles as a gallery for local artists and serves great food. You can get homemade soudough pizza on fridays and saturdays. It's run by Rachel and Angie, mainly.

This cafė is in point of fact NOT run by volunteers and has No association with the park

I only get pastries from the place because I cook at home, I was a tad bit disappointed several times I bought they brownie bar ect... it tasted stale and hard I don't believe that it should be done as a compromise for whatever reason they are keeping these on shelf past due date or maybe not putting them in containers after the day but otherwise most certainly a really nice vibe of the Cafe.

Rachel & Roland work very hard to give an outstanding service! The food is amazing whether you want a drink or meal. Tasty tasty very very tasty! And it’s on our doorstep!

Must visit and spend some time.

More unique cafes/resteraunt like Parklife are needed in Harrow. Such a refreshing change from the usual chain cafes. Great food. Great coffee. Quirky, individual and somewhere you will want to spend time in. It's also a place with events happening within the community which are a chance for people to take part in, something that Harrow is in dire need of.

The park is undergoing a great transformation! For a group of local residents have formed Friends of Harrow Weald Recreation Ground recently and have since responsibly done a great job in looking after and revitalizing the park. I believe they work also closely with Harrow Council, for example , some broken fence have been repaired or made new and there are volunteer residents lock up the park gate at night.... There have been litter picking campaigns ...and many other activities including creating and maintaining a Facebook group of the same name, keeping up the good work using social media, this also tells a lot about the changes...and last but not least, we have free tai chi sessions every Wednesday morning in the park ! and this is becoming increasingly popular, it is initiated by council's health improvement department as part of national walk for health programme, and we are unique in a way, for there are many walks around harrow, but this one has tai chi! Our Walk and tai chi is also cheered and supported by Enderley Road Medical Centre and it's Patient Association. We are really looking to very many healthy local residents doing tai chi and a lovely healthy welcoming park.

Really lovely place overlooking a nice park. Run by volunteers. Relaxed and chill. Very good food.

Warm and welcoming staff, excellent service, delicious home made food, beautiful park location!

The friendly staff made me feel very welcome. Great coffee, good food, affordable prices. Local artwork displayed on the walls. Dog friendly. Community spirit. I love it.

A tiny cafe with a HUGE personality! A large selection of affordable fresh & homemade food and drink to pick off the menu, be it vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher or dairy alternatives, you'll always find something catered for everyone! Milkshakes are amazing too AND cute designs on your coffee! The staff are friendly and attentive, the place is always clean and buzzing with people. They have an outdoor seating area overlooking the park and beautiful ever-changing artworks on display and crafts to keep kids young and old entertained. What more could you possibly ask for!

If you look in the dictionary under charming cafe, you will find a picture of ParkLife Café and the staff. Great coffee, delicious food lovely service and full of art and dogs.

Best cafe for miles, amazing community spirit, travelling vibe, real gem.

Such amazing staff very helpful and welcoming was there with my mum and son I got a hot chocolate and was the best one I've ever had thank you.

Cosy friendly café with sweet and savoury vegan options, including alternative milks. I had the oat latte with hazelnut syrup and it was delicious.

A wonderful truly community cafe with yummy food and a great vibe.

Just happened on this wonderful establishment. Really cool vibe and warm service. The food was excellent, I look forward to coming back again.

Love thos place lovely ppl 💕 my kids love going there

Such a cute little gem of a coffee shop! The coffee is lovely and the staff is incredibly nice. It was a pleasant little stop to meet a friend. We didn’t try the food but had apple crumble and it was absolutely delicious. For sure we’ll come back!

10/10 for food, hygiene and customer service. Rachel, Roland and the team are always energetic, and put in 100% into everything they do. All the food they make is of the best quality, great veg and non veg options. Amazing quality, all the volunteers are very friendly and nothing is never too much, all you have to do is ask. Thank you for everything you guys do!

What an amazing lunch here yesterday, Rachel is a whizz in the kitchen and highly recommended. We sat in a lovely spot on the decking, had great friendly service too. As a confirmed meat eater I didn't know vegan food could taste so good, but you learn something new every day!! Home made carrot cake and coffee to wash it all down, absolutely top notch.

I was greeted by the friendliest member of staff and even though he was closed he offered myself and my daughter a coffee free of charge. I will definitely be going back :)

Fantastic cafe in the park and the staff are very friendly

Lovely cafe excellent food good service this place has a personality all of its own well worth a visit ps it's a charity so go there.

We went there today and it is brilliant. A proper community cafe. The welcome was warm and friendly. The food was fantastic as a vegan I was brilliantly catered for. The place was buzzing with a local youth football team on one side plus a kid’s birthday party in the conservatory and everyone was attended to perfectly. No delay and no fuss, just friendly and efficient service. We will be back and hopefully work with them to publicise both their work and to get my charity shop involved both for publicity and volunteering. Steve.

Parklife provides a wonderful oasis from the busy bustle of Harrow.Located next to the park it provides both indoor and outdoor seating and the service is wonderful.The staff are friendly and welcoming,the cakes and scones are delicious and the coffee heart-warming which is perfect for a Winter's day.I would higjly recommend this cafe for the warmth and friendliness of its staff,the relaxing and calming atmosphere,and for the drinks and pastries,and its proximiry to the park.A gem of a place and the best cafe in Harrow

Will go again.I only popped in to get take-away latte, but I was struck by how friendly the service was and ended up getting a hotdog which was delicious. The ambience was wonderful too!

Love this place totally awesome.

The couple in charge were the friendliest people I’ve ever met - amazing food and service - definitely plan to go back!

Very friendly and welcoming staff. It feels like a home from home. Varied menu catering for every taste and dietary requirement. And I have to add…the BEST vegetable quiche you will ever taste

Lovely friendly cafe with variety of foods and drinks, got two free sweets to go with my mocha, definitely coming back here again

Great food usually i have a big breakfast This time peppermint tea lemon drizzle cake and big cookie Nice art in here also by some local artist which if you so wish can buy NICE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL STAFF

Love this small but beautifully form little community enterprise ! Nice to have a cafe that serve fresh and healthy food options . The staff are top notch and go above and beyond well done 👍

My friend Ken suggested this cafe. I’m a bit fussy about food and where i eat so i was skeptical. Well well…i need not have worried. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was yummy - delicious omelette - loved how it was served in a small pan. The cafe is surrounded by a park and its all very homely. I cant wait return. Loved it x

This place was a toilet for decades. An actual toilet... Now it serves overpriced cakes and coffee. Save your money and go to the Lidl across the road.

Great place friendly safe really nice coffee great with kids

Great hot chocolate and great service.

I love this beautiful cafe with a heart - run by wonderful caring people offering a very wide range of delicious home cooked food

Friendly staff and great coffee

Had a delicious lunch of quiche and salad with a mug of Earl Grey tea. The counter "staff" were very friendly and helpful.

My first time going here & It was very good. Normally I go every month to Syd’s Pizzeria & Coffee Shop in Harrow but stopped going there as £15 each for a pizza is too much so I went here with my dad to try their pizzas as was told by a friend it is very good & I strongly agree. Very nice pizzas & for the price excellent , 2 pizzas for just over £15 thats good. I cant fault on anything . The staff & service was excellent & inside the cafe looks very nice. Thank you & will be coming back again. Hope you like my review & hope you found it very helpful. 5 stars by KEN GOODE.

Lovely local cafe with delightful staff. Fantastic pizza and quiche 🙌🏾 Family and dog friendly, high chairs and loos available too. Can’t wait to visit again soon. James and Krishna

Lovely breakfast served by helpful & friendly staff in a great atmosphere

Fantastic place i just been there today wonderful and brilliant best staff as well

Such a lovely experience: great atmosphere, good quality food, lovely friendly staff. Will definitely return and would highly recommend to others.

Very welcoming and accommodating

What a great find! A lovely, friendly cafe with a good selection of food and drinks. I was given a very warm welcome by the delightful Rachel and Roland. Rachel couldn’t have been more helpful. She looked after my bag while I nipped to Lidl, lent me a massive umbrella when I had to get something from my car in the rain and even provided me with sellotape and scissors to wrap a present after my delicious smoked salmon bagel and mint tea! They provide for dogs as well as humans and the whole place is run as a charity, boosting the enjoyment of the local park for the community. Will definitely be back if I’m in the area again! Thanks a million and good luck with your mission, lovely park people!

Waited here for a bus to Watford and had a nice coffee, very friendly staff

Good service, great food at this local cafe.

Testare nesigura sau înregimentată. Straniu.

Nice place for walk and to bring your kids.

Tennis courts are not maintained. Nets are always torn and not properly straighten. Broken Glass on courts not cleaned properly

Helpful & polite staff at this walk-in centre. We went for walk-in PCR test. For walk-in take a pen with you to fill out names. Even better if you write down your full name, Mobile number, email, age and last vaccination date because it'll speed up the process (otherwise you have to spell it out to them).

Amazing park, great facilities for kids and adults

Covid-19 pcr test. professional staff. very quick test that we do ourselves and result to get texted to us.

Really nice park plenty of things do here

Beautiful that meets the needs There are many good shops

Liked this open space. Good for dog walking. Nice play area for children

Currently there is a Covid.19 testing centre, parking closed.

Good recreational space, great for events when the weather is good. Run by Friends of Harrow Weald Recreation ground, great friendly team 😊

Park was popular with football games going on, basketball and playground being used. Pokemon go and ingress players walking and family groups. Clean and tidy park with clear information signs. Currently Covid19 testing centre in the car park.

Very popular place..unfortunately no public toilets or cafe

Didn't see much. Was there for a Covid test!

Pretty clean park among the others in the Harrow region ..

Nice public space with few drunks

Lovely park. Big, lots of trees, great for bracing walks. Also if you like BMX there's a fabulous pump track available for free. Go early to avoid the masses.

Wonderful space the grass is green lovely

I love this park. Sometimes I just love to have a stroll around taking it easy. I like looking at the football and cricket when their seasons start. Great for kids,. dog walkers and runners. Free fireworks on bonfire night!

Really nice park to enjoy your day off. A lot people, enough benches. Nice and tidy. Place for adults and youngsters 😜

a place with greenery and cleanliness, I felt like in Romania when I went ..to my grandparents in the country, an air so clean and full of greenery and trees.Congratulations to the Mayor .from Harrow

Very good park. Parking convenient & it is good for kids too.

Very muddy but better when hot and dry.

A local ground can do with more play things for children

Fond memories of walking and play with Sophie. Cared for by volunteers in a united community spirit who care for the environment.

Take my mum for a walk she loves walk round harrow weald park.There is a lovely lady(Karen) who tidys the park and plants flowers the park is so lovely 😊

Good park place. Fun toys. Avoid after rain.

Well kept ground with open spaces for kids and good walking path.

Went there for my Covid test. Found the test centre well organised and resources. Impressive.
