New developments in Myatt's Fields Park
From 26 November 2007 the playground in Myatt’s Fields Park will be temporarily closed due to refurbishment and landscape works to provide a new and exciting space for local children and families to enjoy. The improvements include an innovative new water play area, designated spaces to cater for a range of age groups, new pieces of play equipment with appropriate safety surfacing, an informal play area and sensory trail, and new planting, furniture, seating areas, and lawns. The new playground will be completed and open to the public by late Spring 2008.
These works form the first phase of a comprehensive programme to restore and revitalise Myatt’s Fields Park during 2008, funded in part by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Lambeth Council and other funding sources.
If you would like any more information about the playground works or park restoration programme, please contact Chris Grocock on 020 7926 6269.

Help us look after Myatt's Fields Park
Myatt's Fields Park is managed by Lambeth Parks and Greenspaces and patrolled by the Lambeth Park Rangers.
The park also comes under the area patrolled by the Vassal Safer Neighbourhoods Team of the Lambeth Borough Police, who work in close partnership with Lambeth Council, Park Rangers and the Myatt's Fields Park Project Group to make sure the park and its surroundings are safe and welcoming for everybody.
Please remember that while Myatt's Fields Park welcomes responsible dog walkers, some areas are dog free such as the children's playground, the picnic area and the nature and quiet gardens. This is for the comfort and safety of children and their carers, and also helps protect wildlife. The rest of the park is open to dogs to be exercised off the lead without disturbing others.
