Geocache Description:



Danson Park is a public park 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.

Danson Park was the private estate lands for Danson Hill, a mansion built between 1762-67 for wealthy merchant Sir John Boyd. The grounds were laid out at the same time, designed by Nathaniel Richmond in the manner of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, with a large ornamental lake overlooked by the mansion. In 1924 the property was sold by the Bean family to Bexley UDC and in 1925 was opened by Princess Mary as a public park. The mansion is now the borough's Registry Office. There are three ornamental gardens, an Old English Garden near the Mansion, a Rock Garden at the western end and a Peace Garden in the south-east corner.

It provides a large number of facilities. Further details can be found at GC8P3HN


As can be seen in the above photo, boats are still stored in the lower part of the boathouse for use on the nearby lake. The upper part is used for functions.
