The area itself is an expensive suburb, with the average house price on Craneford Way nearing £700,000.
The playing fields are close to Richmond upon Thames College and are overlooked by houses. It is also just a short walk away from both Twickenham underground station and Twickenham Stoop, where Harlequins Rugby Club play.
Photos from the scene show police cars and ambulances scattered across the playing fields near to some football goals.
Some of the cars had their headlights on, providing light for investigators and forensics teams as they worked into the night.
Forensics tents could also been seen dotted across the grass, with investigators in PPE busy at work.
Police were stationed at the park entrance, preventing anyone from entering the crime scene which is blocked off by police tape.
Witnesses or any people with footage or information regarding the crime have been told to call the police on 101 or Tweet @MetCC quoting 5697/12OCT.
