From the mid-1920s, the hall was used as Hayes &amp; Harlington town hall, and the grounds became a public park. The park has ornamental lawns, recreational grass areas, rose and shrub beds, and lots of trees &#8211; making it a perfect place for an afternoon walk with the dogs or a kick-about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Delicious Indian food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/Curry-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3595\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"\/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/Curry-1024x538.jpg 1024w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/Curry-300x158.jpg 300w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/Curry-768x403.jpg 768w, \/flatmate-HQ\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/09\/Curry.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are loads of great Indian restaurants and takeaways in Hayes &#8211; so if you like it spicy, this is the place for you.

There are daily owl displays, and the opportunity for animal encounters led by knowledgeable and trained staff.
