There is a children's play area and skate park as well as a cricket pitch - which is signposted to have no dogs on. Don't fear there is still a large field to explore, there is a footpath that goes down one edge but we prefer to do a loop of the field. The side closest to the cricket pitch does have several football pitches marked out so it is normally busy with teams playing on weekend mornings but during the week and/or evenings its free for all to use! At the other end of the field it has been left as a natural meadow/ nature reserve.
There are 2 small cafes located in the park, with the old cottage coffee shop being a popular place for owners to make use of the outdoor seating with their four-legged companions.
The footpath that goes from this cafe back to Charlton House is lined with large trees and a pawfect spot to hunt some squirrels! Don't worry no actual hunting done here, just a little bit of chase ;)
Charlton Park is on the green chain walk and a discover charlton trail that links up with nearby maryon wilson and maryon parks.
