NATURE
Beckenham Place Park is home to a rich biodiverse eco system. Being in nature is, in itself, a nourishing activity, good for mental and physical health.
We’ve created resources to help you explore and learn more about Beckenham Place Park’s natural beauty and heritage.
As part of the restoration in 2019, paths were constructed in the park to facilitate circulation. There are three different length walking trails, a bike trail and a 5km running circuit. Click here for a map with the trails
