Jubilee Country Park

Jubilee Country Park is a 62 acre public park in Petts Wood in the London Borough of Bromley. It is a Local Nature Reserve, a Site of Metropolitan Importance.[1] It was purchased by Bromley Council to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, and opened as a park in 1981.[2]

The Park is part of an extensive wildlife corridor together with Petts Wood and Scadbury Park.[3] The London Loop goes through it.

The Park consists of extensive areas of grassland and ancient woodland. The grassland has a large population of the rare corkyfruit water dropwort, while midland hawthorns are abundant in the woodland.[1]

There is access from Southborough Lane, Blackbrook Lane and Tent Peg Lane.[4]
