Parks and green spaces
We are responsible for the upkeep and development of over 60 parks and green spaces.
We provide a park ranger service, organise events, manage a site of allotments, look after children's play areas and more.
Opening times for parks and green spaces
Knight's Hill Recreation Ground, Tivoli Road, SE27 is closed
Knight's Hill Recreation Ground has had to be closed temporarily due to a serious flooding problem caused by a natural spring.
We are working to resolve this problem but in the interests of safety the site must remain closed until further notice.
Following the completion of this work, a project will begin that will bring major improvements to the park’s play facilities. The scheme will seek to create a natural play area to improve play opportunities for local young people, and is part of a project Playbuilder that will see seven parks in the borough benefit from more than £2.5 million of funding.
Lambeth Council wishes to apologise for any inconvenience and will keep you updated on progress to the works and date for reopening.
In the meantime, the nearest alternative play or recreational facilities can be found at Hillside Gardens, Norwood Park and Streatham Common.
