Cornmill Gardens Playground

About

This off-leash dog park occupies a central location in Lewisham Town Centre, forming part of a larger open space development that includes access to the River Ravensbourne. The facility sits within newly designed gardens that have received recognition through various national design and landscaping awards since opening. The park connects to the Waterlink Way and features native plantings along restored riverbanks where the waterway has been freed from concrete barriers. Pet owners will find an environment where dogs can exercise freely while enjoying proximity to natural water features and established wildlife habitats. The location supports families of waterfowl including mallards and moorhens, creating an enriching outdoor experience for both pets and their owners. The park includes additional amenities such as play areas and outdoor fitness equipment, making it suitable for families visiting with children alongside their dogs. The facility operates under the management of Glendale Grounds Management and maintains Green Flag Award status, indicating adherence to environmental and maintenance standards. Located just off Loampit Vale with nearby access to Glass Mill Leisure Centre, the park serves as part of a broader urban regeneration project that replaced previous housing developments with green community spaces.
