Greenspaces: Brookmill Park
Brookmill Park, formerly known as Ravensbourne Park, not to be confused with Ravensbourne Park Gardens, is a small park at the bottom of the St Johns conservation area.
The park blends ornamental gardens, play areas, a river walk and some green space to make the most of a trickily narrow site, hemmed between a busy road and the course of the DLR.

its another good little park in the borough. also occasional sightings of herons in the water there.
Very good cycle route connecting Lewisham and Deptford, and the v occasional kingfisher, as well as herons to spot.
only problem with biking it is the mouthful of midges you get at the dlr station end. deep breath...
the pond is a sad sight though isn't it? covered as it is in that thick green gunk.
it's a nice little park, and a welcome respite when walking that way, but the paths are too narrow for cycles and cyclists should not be allowed through - parks must be for animals and people first and cyclists only if there is room to accommodate specific paths
It is indeed a nice cycle route. I actually don't see a problem since there are different paths for cyclists and pedestrians, though for some of the way these are adjacent.
People don't always stick to the right one though so a bit of caution is needed.
CFYoR, this little park isn't for animals and people first 'fraid.... No dogs allowed.
It is nice though. Great to see the Ravensbourne unbound.
