Swanley Park used to be known as New Barn Park. Previous to that it was New Barn Farm until various fields and orchards were bought by the Town Council to protect the Green Belt between Hextable and Swanley. The lake at the eastern end of the park has a cafe, although in winter it is fairly quiet with the boats laid up ready for the better weather.
