Central Park is situated between Rainham Road North and Rush Green Road, and was laid out behind Dagenham Civic Centre which is a superb example of late-1930s civic architecture. It was built in 1937, as was the fire station beyond it. The grand scale of Central Park reflects the dramatic increase in size of Dagenham between the Wars. There are a number of straight paths lined by trees such as the one just ahead.
