Beckton District Park - North — Attraction in London

It was my first time coming to this park with my children and they really enjoyed the recreation area. The range of apparatus was sufficient for all age groups, it's a good size and it has small hills which I think is useful and provides additional play opportunities. The geese are quite friendly and my children were happy feeding them.

Other options like oats, peas, sweetcorn, plain rice or bird seed is great. I found out today geese also...
