This is a great playground and my children love playing here. There has been a lot added to it over the years, the new pirate ship and rocking horse are a huge hit! It is friendly for the younger children, there is a smaller climbing frame and the swings with seats for younger children/ toddlers. There are climbing frames for the older children or the more adventurous little ones! There are benches and little picnic tables scattered around. Next to the playground there is a good size basketball court which sometimes doubles up as a space to play football. On the other side of the playground there is a large outdoor paddling pool. This only opens in the summer holidays but it is very popular with the locals. It is free and mostly quite clean. The pool is cleaned once a week and it does get closed while it is being cleaned. There are male and female toilets in the building next to the paddling pool but these are only open while the pool is open. The pool is only for children, my little one wasn't keen going in on his own for the first time so I got some funny looks when I went in the pool too! The pool is very shallow and there are benches situated around the pool.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

An excellent free playground for families with children of all ages in south-east London. The paddling pool makes it a go-to summer destination β€” bring towels and swimwear. The fenced basketball court separates older children from the main toddler area, which helps manage mixed-age visits. Weekdays are noticeably calmer than weekends.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Bring towels and swimwear for the paddling pool in summer β€” it's free to use
⏰Toilets are only open during the summer pool season β€” plan accordingly

β€œLovely children's playground, plenty of seating, the basket ball bit is fenced in, so plenty of room for the bigger children to play without worrying about smaller children. Only downside is the toilets are only open in the summer when the paddling pool is open πŸ˜β€
