About
Lammas deserves a top-tier place because the official council page makes clear that it is not just open grass. It has a large picnic field, two play areas, summer splash park, tennis courts, BMX or skatepark, café, mini golf, boat hire and river access, which is more structured activity than most town parks can offer.\n\nThat range makes it one of the most useful answers to what to do in Staines for both visitors and local families.
