“Beautiful park with children's play area, bandstand and café. Plenty of benches to sit down on and take in the views of the park. Great for dog-walking too.”

“Nice park for sitting out, talking walk or a little picnic with your family. The kids were happy running around and looking out for squirrels. Lots of spaces for sports activities.”

“I go to Wandle park often and have been going for years. First with my children and now for casual walks either alone or with my dog. It’s a lovely little park - dog friendly and with a nice little play area for the kiddies. There’s also a skate area and tennis courts with a ping pong table which is really cool.”

The park runs along the River Wandle and includes a bandstand, playground, skate area, tennis courts, basketball court, ping pong table, and a cafe. Outdoor fitness stations are scattered through the grounds. Dog-friendly throughout with good walking paths. Space is ample for picnics. The park could do with maintenance work in some areas, and there is no off-lead dog enclosure.
