Calverley Grounds — Attraction in Tunbridge Wells

Calverley Grounds is a picturesque park conveniently located just a stone's throw away from Tunbridge Wells Railway station. It boasts immaculate landscaping, lush greenery, and vibrant flowers, making it a beautifully organized space. I've had the pleasure of visiting several times, whether during festivals or special events like the ice skating platform and ferris wheel set up during the Christmas holidays. Each time I return, I'm consistently impressed by the park's cleanliness and tidiness. The kiddies' playground is well-equipped, and there are plenty of food and drink options nearby with reasonable pricing and attentive staff. Calverley Grounds is not only family-friendly but also offers a tranquil environment for those seeking a place to relax and contemplate. It truly is a fantastic destination worth visiting time...

Lovely gardens/park, that have recently been improved with a much enhanced play area. I'd like to mention what a fabulous job the park did with its ice rink for Christmas 2017. The staff were efficient, helpful and cheery...which, for me, contributes 50% to the whole customer experience. Well done guys and gals! I think the support 'seals' for the little ones were overpriced at £5 an hour...come on, these things have been paid for over and over again by now! I understand the importance of commercial acumen, however, it seems a little harsh to 'tax' the youngest customers, who are the ones who need them to stabilise themselves. £2 an hour would be nearer the mark for me.

All in all though, a beautiful, well kept park with a wide array of activities spread throughout the year. I'd recommend...

I visited Calverley Grounds on a short visit to the Tunbridge Wells town centre. The park is well tucked away from the main road and feels like you are far from the town centre. There are plenty of well maintained flower beds in the park which is lovely to stroll around.

There are a few outdoor courts for various sports, although I'm not sure if these are at an extra cost. At the top of the park there is a childrens play area, although I am a little too old to use the play equipment! There is a multi-storey car park at the entrance, although I'm not sure on the cost for this either.

If I am back in the area, I will definitely visit again (and may come back for the ice rink...
