Danson Park
Danson Park is a public park in the London Borough of Bexley, South East London, located between Welling and Bexleyheath. At 75 hectares, it is the second largest public park in the borough (the largest being Foots Cray Meadows at 100 hectares), and the most used by the community. Opened in 1925, it is often considered the finest green open space in the borough, and is Grade II listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The central feature of Danson Park is the stunning Danson House and large lake which is home to various watersport activities and water fowl - especially geese! My favourite activity is watching the humans chase me away from rolling/ eating all the goose poop that you will find on the grass beside the lake. There is a small cafe with picnic benches down by the lake for the humans to get some refreshments. There is also a cafe inside Danson House, with outdoor seating, as well as the Danson Stables pub up by the car park - so the humans should fine plenty of places for a post-walk refreshment. You can follow the path around the large lake, with also some areas of woodland to explore. On the other side of the car park you'll find a children's play area, some more grass areas to run around on as well as a walled rose garden (no doggos in here).
