Betts Park, Urban park in Anerley, London Borough of Bromley, England
Betts Park contains multiple recreational facilities across its 13 acres, including football pitches, an outdoor gym, basketball courts, and a skateboard area.
The land where Betts Park stands was originally Clay Copse on Penge Common, granted by King Eadwig to thane Lyfing in 957 for services rendered.
The Heart of Anerley obelisk, installed in 2024, stands within the park grounds as a representation of local community identity and heritage.
