★★★★★Featured review by Shannette Carberry

I attend this park for outside training sessions. Brilliant if you just would like a brisk walk in the fresh air and also good for taking the children out to play. Great park for dog walking too.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children learning to bike — the flat terrain is hard to match for this purpose. Basketball court suits older children for casual games. The open grass works well for dog walking and outdoor exercise sessions run from the ground.

“A great big field in the burbs useful for free parking for a swim at West Wickham baths and a great place to sunbathe on the way (06/09/2023 26⁰)”
