Kelsey Park, with its lakes, wildlife, flower beds, new herbaceous border and over 100 kinds of trees, is the jewel in Bromley’s crown. It is a haven for wildlife and over 65 species of birds have been recorded, (see the ‘Sightings’ page). It boasts one of the largest populations of Grey Herons in the south of England.

The Park’s lawns are ideal for picnics, sunbathing, ball games and dog walking, (east side only). The children’s playground is popular whilst level paths provide easy access for the elderly and disabled.

The Information Centre, open weekend afternoons and staffed entirely by volunteers, is the best next stop to learning more, apart from simply going on a self-discovery walk. It can be found on the ‘Location’ page map.

There is a café and the toilets have baby changing facilities. One toilet is for the disabled which is accessible with a radar key, (provided by the café).

Other facilities include a mini golf course (contact Maria on 07981 822364)

and tennis courts.

The Friends campaign and work tirelessly to bring about improvements to maintain the park for all visitors, scoring recent notable successes, such as refurbishing Heron Island and the Rockery by the waterfall.
