Tooting Bec Common

I quite like this common. There are tennis courts, a gym with an athletic running track, an outdoor swimming pool (one of my friends uses it), a cafe, a children’s play area and a pond. There’s also a small free car park (beware- it’s usually full). One of my favourite things is the green parakeets who fly about. Yes they are still flying about in December!!! I have walked on this common for years. If you have a dog, enjoy but beware some dogs are not friendly (my poodle was attacked more than once). However, the majority are lovely. A military fitness group uses the common as do a lot of personal trainers so it’s quite good fun to see them when running. In the summer there’s an ice cream van by the car park. The common is quite large and at one end extends to Balham.

Beautiful place to spend some time outside in tooting. There are playing fields for different sports such as tennis, football and more. There is a lido next to the park. There are playgrounds for children. Great for families or for people who wants to do some sports.

Great place for jogging, it's nice and big and benefits from the Lido as well. Tennis courts and 2 playgrounds are great for the family. Not much parking though. Nice little onsite cafe as well.

Really fantastic Common, lots of places to picnic, largest Lido in Europe, fenced in running track with seating for spectators and Gym, a lake with wild foul and Terrapins, tennis courts, 2 children's playgrounds and woodland walks. Go down and take a walk around, there are loads of different sections, make sure you visit them all. If you like this review, can you please click the like symbol below. Thank you!

Great open space. Used to play lots of sports here. They have a great run which happens every weekend. It's a shame that the local council cut down all the trees on the main path but it is still a lovely common that holds lots of joyful memories
