      I last took my model boat(sea Commander – Merco 35 engine) out on Danson Park Lake (Bexleyheath) in 1975. Can i still do that 45 years on?

          Hi Edward,

          I'm sure the council would have rules stopping ic powered boats from being run these days

          Cygnets MBC at Maidstone use Mote Park lake on Saturday mornings for ic, one of the few places left !!

          Here's me in 1976 at Danson Park with my much modified petrol powered 35cc Sea Queen

            Most venues that are run by local councils, or are designated as 'wildlife environments', have banned the use of I.C. powered boats.

            Boston Model Boat Club however, own their own pond, and are one of the few locations, where I.C. racing is allowed.

            We are open for visits on Wednesdays for anyone looking for a venue to use an I.C. boat.

            Please see our website at, I.C. Boats welcome.

              you can still run them at will on Fleetwood's lake, but the state of the lake weather wise leaves it most of the time to the yachties.

                I suggest that you contact Bexley Council as Danson Park & Lake is funded by those living within that London borough.
