A peaceful atmosphere for sport and recreation. It has a beautiful forest that exposes you to nature.

Today my husband and l went to visit Recreation ground the back of Chislehurst Library. Hasn't chanced much since my last visit about 35 years ago. Although it has a new play park for the kids and a new cafe with toilets. The woods at the back goes up to the fields the back of Victoria Road. You can still see Redhill School from the woods, where l went to school 57 years ago. It's a lovely park thats why l give it 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fun place for fireworks every year. During day it is fun to explore with kids and the dog. Woods are great and playground is full of things to entertain my two. Cafe nice.

Love a jog, stroll, picnic or chill here. They have a tennis club you can join. A play-park for the kids. Table tennis tables, a cafe and lots n lots of green space. Oh and there's a mini forest which you can walk through to the other side of the park with more greenery. Lots of friendly dog walkers too.

A trip down memory lane for my wife and I. My wife in particular for here a sentimental place - Chislehurst Recreation ground, garden and park - where she spent time in her younger days in this park, as too her time served in her primary school 'REDHILL' adjacent bordering the park. In view of the park to the north is the tower of the 'ANNUNCIATION CHURCH in Chislehurst High Street. It is at this church we married circa. October 1980 (now 42 years ago!). Happy days, happy memories for this our own little 'Holy grail' we cherish ❤ forever. Personal history aside...this wonderful green space area is one (or only..?) park in the Chislehurst domain. Popular with families, children (noticed a play area and amenities within the park), and an ideal location with general hikers, fitness and health pursuers, and sporting enthusiasts - tennis and football ⚽️ ( home ground to F.C.ELMSTEAD). Popular too with dog walkers, a good footpath circulates the park all within open view. A hikers and nature trail on the ' GREEN CHAIN WALK' which follows through the adjoining woodland. The woodland a habitat and home for some interesting wildlife and hosting a significant number of species both flora and fauna. In fact, the park's notice boards by the main entrance in Empress Way document and display one rare nationally iconic species of insect that thrive here in July, the STAG BEETLE 🐞. Plenty of comfortable seating along the footpath, offering some pleasant views of the church tower of 'THE ANNUNCIATION ' in the north and the spire of Chislehurst Methodist Church can be seen peering between the trees on Chislehurst Common to the east. The park entrance has a disabled entrance, the only toilet we came across is in 'THE ROOST' coffee shop at the centre of the park. Parking is at a premium in Empress Drive, a quiet private residential road. Empress Drive is reached via Willow Grove, off Chislehurst High Street. However, bus stops daytime service in the High Street Nos 61, 160, 161, 162, 273, and R7 are approximately 10 mins walking distance away from the park. Finally, well done 👏 to the brilliant Council Workers/groundsman (London Borough of Bromley I assume...?) we met in entering the park... ALEX, WILL, EAAN ( Euan forgive me Sir if I've misspelt your name?). Enjoyed our hearty, cheerful but very brief interesting chat. My praise goes to you all and your fellow workers in all the Greater London boroughs for doing such a fantastic job in the preservation and upkeep of Chislehurst Recreation Ground and the likes of every green space in and around the Capital for the public to enjoy. I salute you gentleman, keep up the great work...👍👏 Well folks, if you are in Chislehurst and have a spare moment, time to relax and unwind then a visit here any time of year good. A good place to combine in a day itinerary of Chislehurst. Chris.

Amazing place to visit, the classic car show was excellent. The family loved it.

Good mix of playground , children play area and beautiful woods and a cherry on top of proactive garden club which adds extra delights to it's beauty

Wonderful place to spend time with kids.

Kids aged 6-7 years old and one aged 4 years old, all loved spending a couple of hours there. Cafe and small wood there. High street very close.

A local park used for general strolls and getting much needed fresh air. A basic open space with a kids play area, tennis courts and a cafe for drinks and snacks. Also close to Chislehurst High Street for local shops and restaurants.

Nice looked after grass area where youth football clubs play on weekends, a small coffee shop with ice lollies. The playground was fairly large and has nice wooded area to explore.

Nice place. The biggest issue is that it gets quite muddy after rain. Still lots of space for making it more interesting!

Great facilities and welcoming Friends group. Flowers this year are outstanding well done the gardening group.

Lovely area woodland walk kids play area football pitch and a brilliant cafe

Although at times very busy with athletes, football kids and dog walkers, it can be a lovely quiet place to sit and drift off into a daydream.

Good pitches for Sunday league football, good food in the clubhouse. Friendly staff

It's a nice enough recreational ground: flat ground, some benches to eat lunch and socialise with friends, and a small café that has a small range of drinks - the usual stuff - to choose from. It needs a little more TLC than it gets as sometimes it can be a little too overgrown to have a picnic on, so the Chislehurst Society or the local council need to get on that. The recreational ground has been the location of more than a few muggings in the past few years, particularly schoolkids being robbed of their phones, and the rare stabbing has occurred here too. So keep that in mind when coming here in the darker months, especially alone or in twos. Groups can = safety.

Pleasant recreational area with lots of facilities, kids playground, and woodland areas that connect to the Walden Recreation Grounds. Though, a bit small and gets busier at times.

Went to Chislehurst rocks. Below average ice cream (99flake) being sold for £3. A packet of crisps was one pound. What a way to rip people off in the name of inclusivity and diversity

Lovely little playground. Lots of things to do for the kids. Very isolated and quiet area.

I walk my dogs here most days and it's nice to have this lovely public space so close.

Other than the mud - which is fine if you're prepared with wellies.... This is one of my favourite local parks to take the kids. Lots to keep them busy, a cafe for refreshments, and woodlands at the back for a little walk
