Nearby playgrounds

Hi,

I don't drive, so walk my boy to dulwich park, peckham rye or goose green park most mornings. I tried the park opposite horniman yesterday which was a nice change. Are there any other parks nearby that people go to?

Sunray gardens opposite St Faith's church in North Dulwich is really nice - good playground and a small lake with ducks

And Brockwell Park is only a little bit further afield but worth it for the beautiful park & views and the amazing playground, sandpits, all sorts of wooden structures and swings etc

Ruskin Park - v short bus ride away, next to Kings - good playground and paddling pool in the summer.

Hilly Fields on the bus. Views, lovely cafe with a mud kitchen and a fantsstic playground with water play.

Not quite a park, but east dulwich picture gallery opposite dulwich park has a nice garden to play in.

Love Myatts (any bus to Camberwell area), Blythe Hill (no water play, views, play, sand, 185 bus), Sydenham Wells (363, water play, play, lots of grass), Ladywell Fields (484 or 185, playgrounds, caf?s, jetties/streams, Hilly Fields (484??). Now also working out buses to Kelsey Park and Croydon Rd Rec as we live in Forest Hill. Crystal Palace is great and accessible by overground and step free at FH and CP.

Variety is the spice of playground life!!

Also I highly recommend the Citymapper app for all bus users, it's priceless!

The playground/sand pit opposite the Hornimann is definitely worth a try...gets very busy on sunny days though...176 and 186 go there (I think)..

There is also Sydenham woods which is great if your children are walking. You can get in from a path opposite that boarded up pub on lordship lane just before the horniman. Think the path is called cox's walk...?

The woods are great as a "nature's playground" but I'd start the walk at the top and walk down to Cox's walk since otherwise, for little legs, the whole things is uphill.
