Friendly Gardens - (Near Lewisham, london)

4 /5 Maria Giangiulio: A central park with climbing facilities, a slide, loads of space for ball games and summerly picnics. Particularly enjoyable is the odd circular construction in its southern corner. Often filled with rain water a shallow pond that regularly attracts curious water players with and without Wellingtons. Next to it interesting tree trunks for climbing and tack games. Later in the evening it has become common to find small groups of adult drinkers there, which makes it less attractive due to loads of remnant packaging the next day, which is a shame. This park has probably more potential.

2 /5 Sam Boggis-Rolfe: Nice park, with friendly people, but the litter is bad especially around the area at the bottom of the park where people drink at night, lots of rubbish left and then not picked up by the council. It could do with a face lift, not ideal for kids

3 /5 Colm Clafferty: Dog park is great for a pooch to get a run about. Top part nice in summer but more a midpoint rest than a destination. Both parts of the gardens are a bit run down

5 /5 Anand Krishnan: Always a fun place to walk my Dog. He loves the place and we find a lot of dogs to socialize. They have a cafe/restaurant. There is a tennis court, basketball court and a play area for kids. Excellent place for a picnic.

4 /5 Mark Roper: Its a lovely park, as most london parks are. It has a childrens play area and, what looks like, an old paddling pool but is now a kind of amphitheatre.
