    This park has easy access from the road through both by walk and car. The parking is paid, 1 hour £1, whole day £3. Parking can be paid both card and cash. From the parking you will find a plain grassy ground. After that there will be kids playing area. There is also the kids train that runs through the park; need to pay for that. If you walk towards left you will find the cafe come restaurant. There are hot and cold food in there. Further down there is bouncy castle for young kids the . The environment is very lovely and calm. This park is suitable for all age groups and dogs. There is a lake, if you want you can ride a boat. There are lots of birds, duck and swan around the lake. Every one can have fun depends on each individual. The entire park is having new seasonal flower bloom. Enjoy 😊

    One of our favourite parks. It offers so much for everyone, with plenty of open space if you want to spend time away from the crowds. All activities are reasonably priced or FREE. Soft play, boat rental, lake, mini trains, play equipment, inflatables, ample parking (although a fair walk if you don't get the train which is located at the car park), cafe and clean facilities inc a decent and spacious disabled toilet. FREE splash park unless you wish to have a quieter session for an hour in morning, where they charge a small fee. This is perfect if you have a child with additional needs. Enjoy! 😊

    Swanley park is one of the best parks I've ever been to. It has a beautiful lake with very large fish and turtles. You can row or kayak across the lake or ride in a giant sized swan or a flamingo. There's numerous things for young children including a pool with fountains. The cafe is ran by the owners who are always so friendly and you never have to wait long however long the queue. There's usually events going on in the 6 acres of park. You can even ride on the park's train. You can't get bored. I love it.

    It's a beautiful park. It has got mini trains operated in the summers. The train ticket costs £1.50 for single ticket per person or £2 return. Dogs, prams, children under the age of 3 travel free on the train. It has a lake for boating. Boats are designed like swans and flamingos. No fishing allowed in the lake. There is a children's playground and a cafe. Car parking is operated with ANPR and charges are £1 for an hour or £3 for the whole day.

    What an amazing outdoor space, loads of green space to picnic, wildlife is friendly - ducks and geese. (you can buy duck feed from the cafe). Also there is a mini train that runs from the centre of the park to one of the carparks. There is a wet play area for the children, lots of children's activities, soft play, cafe and toilet facilities.

    Ideal for: Everyone, this is a fantastic park for families, children and dogs. There are miniatures train around the park, single trip is £1, return £1,5. Key Info: two car parks available, one is closer to the playground and the other is a bit away. Download PhoneandPay in advance to avoid queues paying the parking. Pros: - Car park available. - Toilets available. - Splash pool for kids. - Pool and coffee shop available. - Playground and other activities. - Boats. Cons: - Not all paying machines working properly.

    A wonderful place for families, with everything you need to keep children happy all day. There's a miniature steam railway £1.50 single, £2.50 return which took us from the car park to the playground. Apart from a wonderful playground there is a boating lake, bouncy castle, mini electric go-cart track, large paddling pool area with water features café and toilets. Plenty of green places with trees. Who needs to go away on holiday if this is on your doorstep? My grandchildren loved it!

    Just reviewing the Parkrun here, when I went parking was free for Parkrunners but I think that ran out, check their page in case it comes back. There’s a cafe and toilets by the lake near the start, it’s also where I registered my car. Sadly the train wasn’t out but the park looks like a lot of fun for kids. I found the course complicated and took a bit of a wrong turn as nobody was in front but one of the marshals shouted out and got me back on track. Be aware you finish uphill and trail shoes recommended during wet weather.

    Where to begin? Lots of parking space available. To our surprise there were small steam trains that take parents and children to the main play area section. The trains even have space for buggies and pushchairs. Return ticket is £2. Absolutely brilliant. Last train is at 5pm. You pay when you get to the station (main park area). Lovely play area for kids! Pedal boats in the lake! Bouncy castle behind cafe! Sand pit! Nice walk around the park and a great large Green area. Toilets were really clean!

    Excellent for families and children. Plenty to do and a fun place to picnic. Love the train that meets you to take you to all the amenities from the car park.

    Parking : we went to a small parking space and it cost £3. We attended the summer holiday so it fill up pretty quickly. Swimming pool The kids liked the pool area, but the water is very cold!!! Other activities, the play ground is fine. It could do with better swings. There is a train ride that you pay for a small fee. There was also a queue to go on the boat, and was very busy as it was a hot and sunny day. I would say this is a good park when compared to others so yes it is worth visiting.

    What a beautiful park. Fabulous water splash park set in beautiful grounds. Lovely clean toilets and cafe, friendly staff. Play park, boating lake with full size swan or flamingo pedalos. Lovely grounds with many Willow trees and mature shrubs. Great walking area. Definitely worth a visit with little ones x

    Really beautiful park with lots and lots to do for all kids and elders alike. Nice lake for your pedal boats available to hire for 20 minutes. Splash pad for the kids. Good selection of food and lest I forget to mention the mini train. All in all a good day out. Plenty of parking is available on two sides of the park

    Nice and clean park. Good to take children out a bit. Not many things to do apart of walking and a playground for kids but for someone who likes fresh air and and a healthy walk/run around, this is a good option.

  • 4/5 Max D. 1 year ago on Google
    Just how I remembered it and nostalgic to be back after 20 years. Still a great place to spend a few hours and with my own kids this time. A little busy as it always was. The train, still there and in the same condition as it was. You have to go back!

    Lovely park and well maintained. Lots of young staff but if they have the right training and first aid qualification then let them help run the park. Lots for things for children to do. Only downside is all extra things like train ride, boats cost a little. Great day out. Take a packed lunch.

  • 5/5 Adel A. 7 months ago on Google
    A lovely park to go to for all ages and families. It has an amazing lake with boats. There are also small trains, for short rides, for small fees. They go back and forth very often. There's a nice café near the water splash area which is very popular. The carpark is available and it fits many cars for a good price. There's lots for the kids to do here like the bouncy castle, water splash, playground, train rides, boat rides and sometimes funfairs.
