  Franks Park is a 17 hectare park in Belvedere, situated on the hill between the upper and lower parts of the town. It was formerly a part of the grounds of Belvedere Park, a property on Upper Park Road that was demolished in the mid-20th century. The area was purchased by Erith Council in 1920, and a park was established, named after Frank Beadle, a local man who donated funds towards the acquisition of the site. The park today has a wooded area with a substantial wildlife population, as well as a field and a children's playground.
  Sidcup Place is a 16.3 hectare open green space situated between Sidcup High Street and Queen Mary's Hospital. It extends from Frognal House to the east of the hospital, to The Green, an adjacent 0.12 hectares of parkland in front of the Manor House Registry Office, which contains Sidcup's War Memorial. It contains a children's playground and tennis courts.
