It also has an outdoor gym (added in 2016), a playground, a café, and a stairway-bridge connecting the park almost to Brent Cross Shopping Centre. The park offers tennis and basketball courts, and has five entrances to different areas of the park. The park is also protected by the London Borough of Barnet, and it is situated between Hendon and Brent Cross, near two bus stops on the 83 route.

Background
History
Hendon Park was part of a mediæval estate known as the Steps Fields and owned by the Goodyer family. From 1868 to 1903 it was owned by the Kemp family when Hendon Council opened the park to the public. The borough of Hendon became part of the larger London Borough of Barnet in April 1965. The park has a Holocaust Memorial Garden, which contains a pond and many plants, and is enclosed by large hedges. The Children's Millennium Wood planted in 2000 is a native-tree and grassland area, which will provide a good habitat for birds when it matures. The rest of the park is mainly informal parkland, with mown grass and mature trees, especially London plane and lime. It is a good spot for watching…
