✓ Large open spaces✓ Dog friendly✓ Renovated café✓ Trim trail✓ Football goals✓ Summer fun fair

🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with older children and dogs who want space to run, kick a ball, or walk circuits. The trim trail and open pitches are the main draw. Younger children will enjoy the summer fun fair. The café provides a solid stop for parents after a walk around the perimeter.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Check local listings for the summer fun fair dates - it draws crowds and adds energy to the park
⏰The café is tucked around the back of the renovated hall - easy to miss on first visit
🎟️Bring waterproof footwear after wet weather as some grass areas stay muddy
🚗Football goals are available without booking - good for informal kickabouts

“We celebrated 100 years since Ashburton Park was first opened. A Time capsule was buried and a photo of some Croydon Pétanque members was buried along with many other photos and items. Looking forward to going back in 100 years time to see them !!! 🤣😅😂”

“Great park with massive open space. Great for a jogs , long walks , walking the dogs or just a quiet picnic. There are football goals for sports enthusiasts and benches around to sit down for those less active. There are a lot of nice dog owners who walk their dogs and a great spot to meet nice dogs.”
