Grangewood Park

Wow! This place is also nice and is the one nearest from home. Yesterday I saw the gym, the tennis place, the amazing trees everywhere, nice flowers, the playground has more games for the little ones. Oh yes! We saw a white squirrel with red eyes for the first time! They said that park is the white squirrel home! 😍 We enjoyed the sun laying on the warm grass while the baby was sleeping!

A gem in South London. Beautiful park wiyh scenic views of London as it's on a hill. Some big dog owners, however everyone well behaved. To be done on a sunny day. Home of the white squirrel it seems. They have a tennis and ball park as well as a playground.

What a pleasant experience i had yearerday when i visited this park yesterday! Wow. Clean air. Basketball and tenjis courts and new gtm equipment to be used all for dree. I was amazed. It is a very big park with areas dor romantic walks with beautiful flowers and benches but also workout area.ita overlooking thornton heath and has amazing view feom above. I found myself a park where i can go every day. Perfect dor jogging and if u have a dog he will have plenty of space to play. IM AMAZED😊
Years later I keeo going to this park and feed birds and friendly squirrels enjoying the beautiful sunsets .best park in the area.

Beautiful park situated on a hill. Taught my kids to ride their bikes there many eons ago. There are many squirrels and of course the WHITE one which I've seen. The park is literally on my doorstep.

A stunning place for a morning walk.

Always nice to visit the park for a Sunday stroll.

Gorgeous, completely fenced in Park with wide, paved footpaths. Lots of trees as well, they provide a lovely canape for summer. Absolutely worth going for a walk there. It's dog friendly as well

Wow! Wow! & Wow!!!
How things have changed in the last year! After so many years we now have a new playground! And what a hit it has been with parents and our end users....our children. Now more than ever I meet new young families who've moved into the area. So many things have been slowly improving due to the constant engagement by local members of our community. You will see where we started a few years ago by the review I wrote.... But I can honestly say you should come visit your local park. Get involved with our seasonal activities. Bowls, use the tennis court, fast walk the perimeter, walk the dog...yoga! Get involved and enjoy. The rest I leave below untouched (for historical reference) see you in the park.
It is a lovely park with great potential to be a fantastic park and public space. Appreciated by the local community, it is a favourite with local dog owners ... The park has a family of rare albino squirrels, I have yet to spot them... Edited (I have now seen one of the white squirrels... A very healthy big fat squirrel which stands out when foraging on the ground under the fallen leaves of Autumn. Quite beautiful!)
Cutbacks in local government plus change of status of the park to wood has allowed the Croydon council to bypass Grangewood Park with funding. It has just had an outdoor gym installed a few months back. As welcome as that is, it would have been far better if they had refurbished the children's playground first. The parents and local park association have been pleading for years.
I have been living next to the park for 5 years now. Parents make there way to other parks so as to let there children have some decent play time in a proper playground. It really is very sad. Saying that, we have been told that there is something going to happen soon??? We can only wait and see...
