About this outing
Brockwell Park brings a large children’s playground together with ponds, ancient oaks, open meadows and the walled Old English flower garden. Families can follow its paths past Brockwell Hall and the Tritton Clocktower. The council also lists tennis and basketball courts, grass pitches, a community miniature railway and BMX track; individual activities have their own operation and booking arrangements.
Planning your visit
- Normally open from 07:30 until 15 minutes before sunset.
