Really good park for the kids. They have a small tain that goes around the park return tickets cost £2 per person which is cheap fun for the little ones and adults. They have a splash park with large paddling pool which is also £2 per person. A boating lake and a normal little park and lots of space for ball games ect

Such a beautiful park in the Southeast London. Ample activities to keep kids of all ages engaged for entire day - play zones, rides, splash pool (summers only), mini-train, sand pit, paddling pool and just pure old fun of running around. They have a very nice cafe with good options and ice cream shop and sweet shop. It exceeded all my expectations and I am kicking myself for not visiting this until now and I would definitely be visiting more often. And not to forget, it’s very well maintained and clean. Just amazing place to have fun or a relaxed day, loved it !!

Swanley Park is an absolutely fantastic place to visit and a real asset to the local community. There is genuinely something for everyone, whether you're looking for a family day out, a peaceful walk, a place for the children to play, or somewhere to enjoy the outdoors. The park is always well maintained, the facilities are excellent, and there are so many activities to enjoy throughout the year. The play areas are brilliant, the boating lake is great fun, and the open green spaces make it the perfect place to relax and unwind. A wonderful community space that brings people together and offers something for all ages. Highly recommended!

It’s a lovely park, tucked away from the main road. If you have mobility issues, young children, or no car, it’s worth taking a cab or Uber, as it’s about a 20-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. There are plenty of play areas and activities for children, including rides, a lake with boat rides and ducks, a swimming area, lovely picnic spots, and scenic walking trails. There’s also a mini train that children can ride. You’ll also find places to eat and drink, plus lots of ice cream options. A lovely spot to enjoy some summer fun.
