Lloyd Park (also known as Lloyd Country Park) is a 114 acres (46 ha) park on the outskirts of central Croydon, Greater London, managed by the London Borough of Croydon. It is bordered by Coombe Road to the south and Lloyd Park Avenue to the west. To the north, access is from Deepdene and Mapledale Avenue, and the park adjoins Grimwade Avenue and Addiscombe Cricket Club. To the east the park is bordered by Shirley Park Golf Course. It was created from land owned by Frank Lloyd (son of Edward Lloyd) a newspaper proprietor who died in 1927[1] which was bequeathed to the Borough of Croydon by his family, after his death.[2]
The Tramlink, New Addington line, runs along the southern edge of the park parallel to Coombe Road.
Lloyd Park hosts Lloyd parkrun [3] every Saturday morning at 9am and Lloyd junior parkrun [4] every Sunday morning at 9am.
