Hesketh Park
Hesketh Park - is about one half the size of Central Park and is very different in character.
The main areas are dominated by sports facilities and the park is home to the Dartford Cricket and Bowls Clubs, and Crackenford Hockey Club.
There are also grass and hard tennis courts which are available for public use. These facilities are surrounded by a variety of planted areas including formal bedding, herbaceous and shrub borders.
Hesketh Park has a large car park off Pilgrims Way, and a public convenience off Park Road.
Hesketh Park also has a well equipped children's playground including swings, climbing equipment, a bike track and enclosed ball games / basketball court.
At the northern end of the park, is an historic sun dial and, behind the old bungalow, a wooded area known as the Dell. This provides a quiet, secluded space away from the main park and can be accessed either from the park or from the Brent.
