Croydon Recreation Ground is a public park located in Beckenham in the London Borough of Bromley. It is near the High St and adjacent to Beckenham Hospital. The park features a cafe and bandstand, as well as a bowling green and other sports facilities.

Britain’s first manned airmail flight left from here in [1902], travelling to [Calais] by hot air balloon.

In August 1969, David Bowie organised and played at the Beckenham Free Festival in the park.
