Central Park was created in the 1930’s, at the same time as the impressive architecture of the adjoining Dagenham Civic Centre. The Park is extensively used for formal sports, such as cricket, football and tennis.

The mown grass also gives ideal opportunities for brisk health walks. If you want to explore further afield, the Timberland Trail starts from Central Park and does a 4.5km (2.8 mile) loop through Eastbrookend Country Park and The Chase Local Nature Reserve. A Trail leaflet is available from the Millennium Centre and other locations.
