Hyde Park: A Great Spot for Adventure and/ or Relaxation.

London's famous Hyde Park has been under the care of the royal family since King Henry VIII's reign in 1536.

The park contains miles of walking paths lined with gardens, and lawns great for picnics, playing sports or just laying out.

While walking through the park, stop by and see some of its main attractions such as Diana’s Fountain, the July 7th Memorial or near by Kensington Palace.

There are several restaurants and cafes throughout the park, along with numerous ice cream stands. The park is a great place for children - there's a pool and playground, as well as acres of open space to frolic. There are also tennis courts and boat rentals.

Whether you’re in the mood to be active, learn some history or just sit back and relax, Hyde Park is a great place to visit.
