    Great little local park with outdoor exercise equipment around the park. I run here regularly and today we tried out the great coffee from the cafe and tried out the zip line which was fun :)

    Amazing dog walking park with a tennis court, bowls club, cafe and toilets. Overall it is a really good park and well worth a visit if you are in the forest Hill or Sydenham areas

    Pretty park. Never too busy and nice to watch cricket in the summer. Couple of tennis courts, cafe, children’s playground and some outdoor gym equipment. Good running loop round the park too. (Also looks cool when misty).

    A lovely local park, with a big green space! They have some of the oldest trees around the area with great features to see as you walk through. There is a exercise area, tennis courts and now a new cricket pitch. There is also sometimes a show on at the bowling green. This is usually on during school holidays. We always stop of at the ice cream van. There prices seem very reasonable. The children’s area is good but could do with a small investment to fix up a couple of the apparatus. Overall though a great park that’s worth a visit

    Mayo’s Park is one of Lewisham hidden treasures. Set in a leafy surrounding residential environment it provide a vital lung enhancing this part of south east London. There are okay facilities for the young, the teenagers and the more mature athlete to exercise and all for free. The local dog walkers were out in force and many many families enjoying the summer weather. The central area of the park hosts a cricket pitch which looked in fine condition although I was a bit alarmed to see families picnicking on the prepared strip / crease! There is plenty of off street parking to all sides of the park and it is easily walkable from Forest Hill or Sydenham stations. A great destination and we’ll worth an explore!

    A couple of people deliberately made a point of walking across the cricket playing area while the game was in progress. When asked politely if they could refrain they became verbally aggressive, even when it was pointed out that their safety and their children's safety(from a cricket ball) was also our concern.

    A nice family park, lots of other activities for young, singles runners, pregnant mums and a community growing garden and chilling cafe. If you have a child who wishes to play football Ade runs a football club on Saturday mornings from about 09:30 for young ones and after the young ones have finished, there is a session for older children. A great park! What would be great is to have a music festival in the park in the summer. Why not even year LB Lewisham run a music festival. We have lots of park. To grow into an International Festival!

    After revisiting this park from childhood times it hardly seemed to have changed. What's new though was the nice coffee and snack hut near the southern Mayow Rd entrance. Great little park for a stroll and the kids can let of some energy in the play area. There's also a quiet area on the southern side with lovely flower beds.

    Free parking nearby. Little cafe and seating area near the entrance and a great gated and imaginative playground for the little ones. Nice, clean, and pretty family-friendly park.

    Nice little park. Clean with exercise machines and kid's swings etc. Cafe is expensive and toilets could be better.

  • 5/5 Marion M. 10 months ago on Google
    A beautiful park which we walked through on our way home from Dacres wood. Will visit again to spend more time there but a shame about the cafe. Popped in for cold drinks but no chilled bottled water on a hot day : ( Will take a small picnic next time.

  • 5/5 Silvia H. 3 years ago on Google

    First time in over 30 years going to this park, and it was nice seeing all the different people enjoying themselves. Plus, there's a little cafe that looked nice

  • 4/5 A N. 5 years ago on Google
    Mayow Park is a nice park with some good facilities for families to enjoy. There are little play areas, climbing frames, hammocks and monkey bars in the park. There are also out door tennis courts in this park. It is a nice outdoor space to do jogging or kick a football.

  • 5/5 Sergey S. 5 years ago on Google
    A lovely local park. There’s a very nice cosy cafe with decent coffee and delicious breakfasts, a playground, a zip line (!), a set of gym units and a sports play field. What I love is it’s big enough to never get busy. Just a perfect place for children to explore and have fun :)

  • 4/5 Brian M. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely park for the kids. Good size for kickabouts. Outdoor gym equipment and dog friendly. Their are toilets and a cafe

  • 4/5 Karan S. 1 year ago on Google
    We are visiting our son, who lives very close to the park and, met up with him for a game of tennis. The courts were lovely. Very clean, not a single piece of litter. We then had a picnic and walk around. Lots of people enjoying the sunshine. There's an onsite café and an icecream van too.

  • 5/5 romi c. 1 year ago on Google
    Well looked after park with a decent playground and a tennis court. Lovely trees and massive space if you are walking your dog.

  • 5/5 Tristan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Park and a lovely cafe. Great playgrounds for the kids and there was an ice cream van there too! What more can you ask for?

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool!!! Went to see open air movie, experience was good, blanket with daughters and snacks all ok and a friendly crowd ( bit of drizzle but didn't distract)! Open bar and toilets made it better ☺️

  • 5/5 Jo 1 year ago on Google
    Always lovely to go to Mayow park. It was our granddaughter's birthday party and such a lovely settling for a get together. The café is nice too.

  • 4/5 Damian H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little park which is well looked after, in no small part because of the active volunteers. Cafe is nice, friendly staff and great food. The playground could do with updating. And some dog owners could be more responsible.

  • 5/5 Robin R. 2 years ago on Google
    Well kept park with a great weekly forest school for young children just by the cafe.

  • 3/5 Zsuzsa M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a loud event, which were totally interrupting other people's picnics. Park should monitoring these musical events for the maximum volume of sounds, even it is for kids.. anyway, free water fountains, nice , clean park. Had a good time there with my friends
