Stanmore Marsh is former commonland that is shown on maps from the late C16th onwards, although Marsh Farm to the east is marked in 1520. Today what remains of the marsh as open land is on the east of where Marsh Lane becomes Honeypot Lane, divided into two sections by Whitchurch Lane. It appears that it was once at the boundary of the adjoining parishes of Great Stanmore and Little Stanmore and was grazed by the livestock of commoners from both parishes. It is an important site for nature conservation.

The site of Stanmore Recreation Ground was probablly once part of the estate of Stanmore Hall. The original house was built in the C18th by the Duke of Chandos who owned the Canons estate. Stanmore Hall was added to by later owners, and in 1847 it was re-sited, when the present house near Little Common was built by J M Derick for John Rhodes. The recreation ground was laid out in the 1930s and has fine trees at the entrance on Dennis Lane including mature oak and areas of shrub planting near the pavilions.

The Cedars is now public open space owned by the local authority but it was part of the former gardens and parkland of a now demolished C19th house once owned by Thomas Blackwell of the well-known Crosse & Blackwell food processing company. It retains a large number of very fine trees, including notable lime, many Lebanon cedars and Wellingtonias, several large oaks and yews, interspersed with laurel shrubberies, flowering shrubs and trees.

Tookes Green is a small triangular green on sloping land at the junction of three roads, with a few trees and seats and bordered with setts, a boulder at each corner. In the centre is a granite drinking fountain on an octagonal stepped base, erected here by the inhabitants of Pinner in 1886 to commemorate William Arthur Tooke, JP who had lived at Pinner Hill House.

Now privately owned, the houses of Waxwell Close and their communal garden were built as artisans' cottages for low wage earners at the behest of Reginald Brightman, the owner of nearby Waxwell Farmhouse. The early C17th Waxwell Farmhouse had become the home of Captain and Mrs Trotter by the 1890s, who converted the house and laid out beautiful gardens. The plot that was laid out as Waxwell Close was purchased in 1915 by Mrs Trotter, whose heir Brightman was.

Wealdstone Cemetery was established by Roxeth Burial Board in 1902, the first burial taking place on 8 November in that year. The boundary with Byron Recreation Ground is hedged, and the cemetery's original stone and brick banded gate piers and entrance gates are of the same design as those at the recreation ground entrance. The Cemetery Superintendent's house was originally the gatehouse at the entrance to the recreation ground on Stuart Road. Serpentine tarmaced paths run through the cemetery, which has some scattered trees and a number of flower beds, with gravestones and monuments set in grass.

West Harrow Recreation Ground dates from between the 2 world wars but is distinguished by its trees that predate the park layout. The area was predominantly rural before the arrival of the railway brought housing development. The Metropolitan Railway extended the line to Uxbridge in 1904 and West Harrow Station opened in November 1913, within two years recording some 43,000 passengers a month. As housing grew up the park was provided for the new residential population.

A Woodhall Farm dates back to at least the C16th, the current building dating from c.1808. The interest of the site is due to its connection with celebrated garden designer and writer John Claudius Loudon. As a young man, Loudon and his father, a farmer, leased the farm in c.1806 and experimented with 'Scotch' farming with a view to publicly demonstrating the success of their methods. His father died shortly after this in 1809 and Loudon left Pinner, although his mother remained here until 1841. The house is now surrounded by suburban housing.

Yeading Walk is a linear park that follows part of the Yeading Brook between Rayners Lane in the east and Northumberland Road where the riverside has a formal strip of park with grass, exotic trees and shrubs, several bridges, seating and a linear metalled path. The Yeading Brook then extends south through the borough to Roxbourne Park and the boundary with Hillingdon at Streamside Reservation.
