A charming and peaceful green space with lovely open lawns and mature trees. It’s a great place for a relaxed walk, a picnic on a sunny day, or just unwinding in a calm setting. Well maintained and never feels too crowded

Lovely wide open park with a play area. It's great for all ages of children due to there being baby and children's swings, climing frame with slide, roundabout, ride-ons and a zip line. There's so much to explore, logs to climb on, good seating, interesting trees and a lovely stream with bridge to play pooh sticks. No snack/shop area but the location is close enough to shops if you need to grab a few bits. Penge Pride and other events are held here during the year too.

Such a lovely place to walk with your dog or with out clean tidy with separate paths that lead to all wonderful walks tall conifer trees shadow a corner that look scary at night People are friendly but no cafe that would complement this place
