Best water play - Brockwell? Syd Wells? Myatts Field?

[Norfolkvillas]

Hi wise forumites. I have one afternoon off a week to spend with my 20 month old, and happily today it has coincided with gorgeous weather.

So which water play should I take him to? Distance / travel not an issue, but I'm keen to know which will be most fun for my toddler (who can be quite a cautious fellow in new surroundings, so even though I know they'll all be busy, it would be great if we can avoid hoards of much bigger kids)

Thanks in advance!

Myatts fields is the best water park - but not for a 20 month old. Brockwell is best for you: it has a sand pit as well and is more suitable for younger kids. It is also adjacent to the idyllic Walled Garden and a lake, and there a couple of cafes in Brockwell Park whereas the others don't have one - as far as I'm aware.

Sorry to ambush but where is Myatts Fields and Sydenham Wells? I've heard about the water features but no idea where they're located. A road or landmark would be great. Many thanks

Thanks citizened - in the end friends were at myatts field so I went there. Will definitely give brockwell a try next time the sun's out. Kimmy1080, myatts field is in camberwell. Type Se5 9ra into google maps. Sydenham wells park is just south of Sydenham hill. Hope this helps!

Just to add depending on which afternoon you have off..

Myatts Field does have a one a o'clock club right next the to the children's playground- it's open on Monday's Tuesday's and Friday afternoon's (i think!!- it's been cut back so only three afternoons!)

Myatts fields park cafe is open on Thursdays, Friday's, Saturdays and Sundays.

Kim, do you know the dulwich woodhouse pub?

If you do, then wells park is just down the road from there.
