Enjoy 12 acres of green space featuring a children's play area, miniature railway, tennis courts, and bowling greens in this award-winning Romford park.

Lodge Farm Park is a well-established 12-acre park situated just outside Romford town centre, offering a mix of recreational facilities and natural spaces for families to explore. The park features gentle rolling hills and Black's Brook running through its spine, creating picturesque walking routes. A highlight for many visitors is the 7¼ inch gauge miniature railway operated by the Havering Miniature Railway Club, which runs a 2,500-foot loop around the park with regular running days and special events. Families can enjoy a large children's play area alongside traditional facilities including two tennis courts and bowling greens. The park has been recognized with a Silver Gilt award for 'Large Park of the Year' at London In Bloom 2019 and holds a Green Flag Parks Award. Summer visitors will appreciate the meadow areas and butterfly borders, which support diverse wildlife including crickets, grasshoppers, bees and butterflies. The park is easily accessible with four entry points, multiple pay-and-display car parks, and excellent public transport links via buses 174, 347, 498 and N86. Opening from 8am until dusk daily, Lodge Farm Park serves as part of a heritage 'Green Lung' walkway connecting Romford to the northern green fields. The site also features the Grade II Listed Black's Bridge, a historic red-brick structure dating to the late 18th century.

Nice park close to Raphael’s park, quite small and compact but good for dog walking, exercise and if you have kids using the miniature railways!
