Brought my family to the park for an outing, but we have left very upset and our evening was ruined. We were in the kitchen gardens when we saw a man, staring at us from a distance and felt threatened and worried (particularly for the safety of out 3 year old daughter who was playing with a tennis ball with her siblings) as the way he was staring was intimidating and unusual and we had no idea who he was. After several minutes he walked over to us and told us he was the head gardener and proceeded to lecture us about playing with our tennis ball in the gardens, saying things like he has spent a long time making the gardens pretty and we were ruining it. We were very taken aback and were upset as the way he spoke was very belittling and condescending. We said there are no signs about ball games outside the park and he replied saying we don t need signs when people should be using their common sense. We all feel we have been singled out and bullied because we do not fit the usual white upper class visitors to kenwood. There was no reason for him to stare at us, with intimidation and it was disrespectful for him to tell us we don t have common sense, when he could have politely told us not to play with the ball. Very upsetting
