Morden Hall Park, Morden Hall Road, SM4 5JD, is 125 acres (51 hectares) of National Trust land on the River Wandle and a Grade II registered park and garden, NHLE 1001336. The river splits into channels through the grounds and is crossed by numerous footbridges. No source states the park's opening hours, so none are given here.
