Barnes Green is the area around the pond, bordered by Church Road to the north and Beverley Brook on the south side, with a bridge over the Brook connecting it to Barnes Common. The grass is kept mown, making it a favourite area for informal games of football, cricket etc, as well as picnics in the summer.

Managed jointly by the Council and the BCA, Barnes Green hosts a variety of activities including a monthly Collectors' Market (see Diary) and, of course, Barnes Fair, the BCA's biggest annual event. It is also the starting point for the annual Duck Race on Easter Saturday.
