Our beautiful park
History
Goddington Park was initially part of the Haddon Estate in the C16th when the manors of Chelsfield & Goddington were combined. In the late C19th the then major Hallet, rebuilt the mansion & developed the upper parkland. Some of the original parkland trees remain and the park is a site of importance for natural conservation.The Manor house and Lodge remain in private ownership but in recent years, the upper and lower parkland have been owned and managed by the London Borough of Bromley.
We are currently fundraising to refurbish the under 5s playground at the Berrylands entrance. Pledge your support for our campaign on our fundraising page.
