Parks and green spaces - general information

Our Parks and Green Spaces team is responsible for the upkeep and development of over 60 parks and green spaces in Lambeth, including facilities for outdoor sports.

Reporting problems

If you notice something that needs repairing in any of the parks, help us to get the work done faster by contacting our Area Parks Officers on 020 7926 9000, or email parks@lambeth.gov.uk.

If you witness an unpleasant incident in a park, please report it to the police. And to help us combat crime and make our parks and green spaces safer for the community, please let us know too, by contacting our Parks Rangers or Area Park Officers on the details above.

Enjoying our parks and green spaces

Whether you're walking your dog in a park or spending a day in the sunshine, please be considerate:

• Don't let your dog foul in parks - use the red dog bins provided
• Keep your dog on a lead in areas where signs say to do so
• Respect other park users - for example, avoid playing football in a busy park
• Adults should accompany children at all times.

Fishing

Fishing is only allowed on Clapham Common, and is not presently permitted in any other park, common or open space in Lambeth.

The two fishing ponds on Clapham Common, Eagle and Mount Ponds, are managed by the Clapham Angling Society (CAS) for coarse fish such as carp and roach.

For more information on the Clapham Common ponds or fishing them, please contact Lambeth Council on 020 7926 9000 or by email at parks@lambeth.gov.uk.

War memorials

There are three war memorials in parks or open spaces - Kennington War Memorial, Stockwell War Memorial and Streatham War Memorial.

All of these are kept clean and visible and can be visited all year round by those who wish to pay their respects.
