Waterside parks suit a relaxed visit, but wind and tide can change how safe the shore feels for small children. Check conditions before you go, and keep younger children close to the water's edge. Kite and windsurfing spots are often busiest on windy weekends, so arriving early gives a better view. Bird watching is usually best at quiet times, when the water birds are settled.
For families and birdwatchers in Bromley who want a quiet shoreline with room to walk, this reserve on Dyers Road is a relaxed place to spend an afternoon.
