★★★★★Featured review by Adrian Cowie

We celebrated 100 years since Ashburton Park was first opened. A Time capsule was buried and a photo of some Croydon Pétanque members was buried along with many other photos and items. Looking forward to going back in 100 years time to see them !!! 🤣😅😂

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children and dogs who want space to run, kick a ball, or walk circuits. The trim trail and open pitches are the main draw. Younger children will enjoy the summer fun fair. The café provides a solid stop for parents after a walk around the perimeter.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Check local listings for the summer fun fair dates — it draws crowds and adds energy to the park
The café is tucked around the back of the renovated hall — easy to miss on first visit
🎟️Bring waterproof footwear after wet weather as some grass areas stay muddy
🚗Football goals are available without booking — good for informal kickabouts

Great park with massive open space. Great for a jogs , long walks , walking the dogs or just a quiet picnic. There are football goals for sports enthusiasts and benches around to sit down for those less active. There are a lot of nice dog owners who walk their dogs and a great spot to meet nice dogs.

Much improved park. The old hall is now a nicely renovated space. Great cafe tucked around the back with decking area for when the weather is good. Reasonable menu range, friendly staff and great prices.

Small, fenced park in Addiscombe. Some nice features. Went there with our dog, in some areas it was still muddy. But it has a nice trim trail all around the park...

Overview

Ashburton Park offers large open grass areas suited to jogging, picnics, and informal sports. Football goals are installed throughout. A trim trail circles the park perimeter. The renovated hall houses a café with outdoor decking — reviewers praise the menu range and pricing. A fun fair runs during summer months. Some areas retain mud after wet weather. Dogs are welcome and the park draws a regular dog-walking crowd.
