What a treat. I had heard about this park but had never actually been there. Until that day...well, I tell you. What a vibe. It is such a nice park. Seeing the kids playing , families doing their own thang, people chillin. Everyone together but not together. The children playing and laughing. The cafe caffing, the loos looing. It was so nice here. I thoroughly enjoyed myself here and look forward to coming again soon. This park is a real park...

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for local families in Lewisham and Catford with children up to 12 years who want a well-maintained park with a reliable cafe. The outdoor gym means adults have something to do alongside the children. Tennis courts and the football area need some maintenance, so manage expectations for those specifically.

β€œWent for a walk and coffee and cake with the family at this park. It’s a very big and lovely park. We prefer to visit during the quieter times. This park as an outdoor gym, play ground, cafe and public toilets. There is a community garden too but doesn’t look maintained at all apart from that this is an amazing park for the whole family.”

β€œMy closest local park has a lovely playarea for kids up to 12 yrs. Two tennis courts that could do with a bit of TLC. A football/basketball court again in need of some attention. and lots of outdoor gym areas and trails. It also has a band stand where they occasionally do live music and they have toilets and and cafe with outside seating. Most recently, they have erected a statue in honour of little Ella that died from excessive pollution in the area, worth a visit if you live locally.”
