About Danson Splash Park
Nestled in the heart of Bexley, the Danson Splash Park is a seasonal hidden gem that promises endless fun for families. With its state-of-the-art water features, beautifully landscaped surroundings, and a plethora of activities for kids of all ages, it's no wonder why Danson Splash Park has become a favourite among families.
Things To Do
At Danson Splash Park, the fun never stops. During the summer months, with that blazing hot summer day, there's no better way to keep cool than with a trip to a water splash park!
Here, you'll find plenty of space to run around in and a splash pool that'll keep entertained! With interactive water features like jets, sprinklers, and water cannons, the laughter and joy of children playing in the water are the park's hallmark sounds.
Whether it's a toddler experiencing their first tentative splash or older children racing through the jets, Danson Splash Park caters to all ages, making it an inclusive family destination. Look on as your water babies duck and dash beneath the flumes and have all-out splashtastic fun! Just remember that this area of the park is only open from May to September.
Whether you just fancy a relaxing afternoon stroll or have the whole gang splashing and sliding about the place, Danson Splash Park is packed with family fare.
The Park and Adventure Playground
Danson Splash Park is far beyond its water features. The park is set within the larger Danson Park gardens, offering families a vast green space perfect for picnics, games, and relaxing under the sun. With even pathways, it's ideal for family walks on summer weekends, and the playground equipment provides more opportunities for children to expend their energy in imaginative play.
We think you should visit the park at weekends because it's a great spot made for lazy Sundays. Kids love the play frame with ladders to hang from, slides to fly down and great, big tyre swings and climbing frames! You'll also find a football pitch, tennis courts and a wide variety of activities for children to get stuck into.
The whole team can then enjoy a leisurely picnic on the picnic tables or have a go at rowing on the ornamental lake. Plus - in the right season - see if you can spot some adorable little ducklings.
Planning Your Visit
The best time to visit Danson Splash Park is during the warmer months when the splash pad is in full operation.
However, the park itself is open year-round, offering a peaceful retreat no matter the season. We advise you to check the park's opening times and any scheduled events that might add a special touch to your family day out!
