Danson Park

I've been meaning to do a 'day out' post for a while now & since receiving so many questions about a park we have visited a few times this summer, I thought it was time to give you all some info on it.

Danson Park is in Bexleyheath and is a beautiful park, not far off the motorway. You need to take the second exit for Bexleyheath off of the A2, and it should be signposted from there. If you like to plan ahead, google it and the directions are easy to find.

It is free to park Monday to Friday, but on weekends and Bank Holiday Mondays, it is £2. This is all you have to pay for once there. 

There is the splash park, which this summer has been a godsend for us. Noah absolutely loves it. 

The playground is amazing with things for all ages. There is a part for small children, with little slides and sit on toys. Then there are the big slides and climbing frames for the older children.

If you go to Danson Park at the weekend, you will be able to hire a rowing boat and take to the lake with oars in hand! Life jackets are available! The rowing boats are at an extra cost but they are something a little different if you fancy giving them a go!

There are extensive park grounds that you can choose to picnic on, play football or frisbee and generally laze around. Dogs are welcome in the grounds so you will be sure to find a pooch sniffing around your legs at some point through your visit.

The Danson House is a very impressive looking building which serves as wedding venue now. You can also stop there for cream tea if you fancy it, whilst sitting looking out to the lake.

The pub within the grounds is lovely for a spot of food or somewhere to retreat to if the weather has changed. It is a lovely family welcome pub, and also allows dogs to enter. The price is standard for pub food and a huge car park is available directly out the front.

I cannot recommend this park enough. It is a great day out with fun for all ages readily available. Even us big kids enjoy the splash park really!
