Great for walking dogs, but be careful some uneven ground on the grass area
Has a couple of benches, can cut through from holmsdale road to Havelock road, has tarmac path

Small field, it's okay. No gates or protection around the field. No toilets. No water fountain. No trees or shade in the field on a sunny day. A lot of dog owners do let their dogs run around here without a lead so be careful if you're not keen on dogs.
A bit featureless but good for morning exercise. The playground also needs some love too but I'm aware there is currently an attempt to raise the money to improve
Beautiful old Parkland with a children’s playground, bowls club, War Memorial and small woodland area. Queens Mead Recreation Ground was purchased by public subscription in 1887 to celebrate the 50th year of Queen Victoria’s reign. It then became the traditional site of Bromley fairs and gatherings. Up to the 1930’s it was the scene of all the main open air events in the town including Broom Day when it is reported that thousands of people flocked to the Mead to celebrate the day. It is in the flood plain of the River Ravensbourne, which once meandered across here, shaded by an army of fine elm trees. Time has treated the area savagely. Following the floods of 1969 the river was put into a concrete trench three years later and the elms all died from Dutch elm disease. Having been stripped of its picturesque elements what is left is a flat playing field. It used to be the site of some cricket matches during the summer but is now only used for football matches, official or impromptu. Improvements to this area are part of the long-term Ravensbourne Valley Restoration Scheme. Thanks for visiting.

Nice park, not the biggest, but lots of space to run around.
Lots of benches to sit around the green.
Plus children's play area.
Not sure I'd come to this park unless I was local and walking to it. Also good to walk dogs.

It's a shame is not taken care properly and all the grass is completely dry. Super nice place to go for a quick run workout or to just enjoy some sun.
