Reviews of Brockwell Park
"My son and I went for a walk after getting waffles and were surprised at just how much there is to see and do! It's got everything you can want from a park -- space to play, space to explore, space to run, space to walk, playground, courts, the Lido and more. Grounds were clean and it was dog friendly with plenty of responsible dog owners around"
"Wonderful park with paths through plenty of grassy space for walks, picnics, football and more. Tennis courts, outdoor lido, adventure playground and community nursery selling and nurturing lovely plants. The walled garden is beautifully planted with a wide variety of temperate and tropical plants and a quiet haven with benches and a water feature. The house at the top of the hill sells refreshments and a small stall at the weekend was hiring out outdoor games."
"It is a very big park and very lovely. The weather was quite sunny and I was having a modelling shoot there so it was my first time. I definitely enjoyed the scenery and watching everyone pass by with their cute dogs. Brockwell Park is a place I'm definitely gonna visit again soon."
"Beautiful place with booths and open tables also outside dining. The staff are young and need a little more training. We were a table of five . I had a dessert menu, I asked a waitress for some more for everyone else she answered you've got one . Also a little on the pricey side."
