Open green area bordered by Walden Woods on the west side and Whyte's Woodland on the right. Forms part of the Chislehurst Bears Trail.

A very nice area for kids and well behaved dogs, look for the Chislehurst Bears that can be found up trees, on paths and all around the area.

Big open park with well kept fields. Trees are big and splendid. Birds chatting away and happy. Only bad things is sometimes the tremendous amount of litter left on the sides of the footpaths. Use the dustbins people!!

Great open space for football, jogging, walking the dog or just a picnic. Not as well maintained as Chislehurst Rec (a few mins away) but still a lovely place to take a walk.

A lovely town park with a play area for the children and a wooded area aiding in the conservation of our local wildlife. The park is a good area for sports offering both a large and small expanse for a variety of activities as well as tennis courts. The park also plays host to the annual Chislehurst Rocks, a small family festival as well as the annual fireworks.
