Beautifully kept flower beds, planted by the Richmond Fellowship (so I've been told) who've been doing a fantastic job, and you can see for your self when you take a visit 😉😉
A dedicated Litter picking group also goes round the park once a week to help keep the park clean and tidy which is lovely community spirit!
Plenty of people come and walk here with their dogs or take a visit on their lunch break, eat sandwiches on a park bench, meet a friend for a chat, attend clubs & groups or visit the playground.
The way I see it there are 2 sections to Queens Park.
The 1st part (visible from Church Road/ opposite the Caterham Dene community hospital & Tandridge Hub) is the smallest section of the park, but by far the prettiest. This area is what I would call Queen's Park 'Gardens' because this is where you will find the beautiful flower beds I mentioned previously...
So this 1st part... (aka)...
🌿🌼🌷🍂👸🏼'Queens Park Gardens'👸🏾⚘🌺🍃🌻
♡contains♡
▪︎ the smaller section of the park but by far the prettiest area of Queens Park
▪︎an area of well kept green in the middle where garden games are sometimes played by regular groups & societies
▪︎ a reasonably wide paved area that surrounds the whole green, acting like a circuit for people to walk round with dogs, alone or in small groups
▪︎and the outer 'circle' or surround if you like... because its more of an oval shape is colour upon colour of beautiful bushes and flowers🌼🌺🍀🌼
Between this smaller section of the park: the beautiful gardens and the larger section of the park, there is a large hut where some activities and groups take place (yoga, tennis 🎾 etc) as well as toilets.
Moving on... to, the much larger area of Queen's Park - this is what I would refer to as 'The Playgrounds'
(although coincidentally you could easily miss this bit, not knowing it was there as its well hidden behind trees and large hut in the middle).
◇ here, in the Larger section of the park you have...
° a football field which is big and I presume other sports make take place here too
° a large area of land.. I couldn't say how much but people can walk their dogs as well as let them off the lead if they wish
° a children's play area - swings, slides, the lot... its quite a good one from what I remember (didn't look at it clearly but it's usually very busy)
° a small refreshments & ice-cream van & a seating area / some picnic benches ice-cream 🍦🥤🧋
° many benches around the outskirts of the park itself
° lots of lovely trees and wildlife in general - its a lovely place to visit if you've never been and just down the road is also East Surrey Museum which is free to visit.
