Opening and closing times for parks and green spaces

The opening and closing times below apply to all gated parks and green spaces in Lambeth.

Park opening times

Gated sites open by 7.30am each morning, with the exception of Ruskin Park which opens at 7am. 

Park closing times - 2011

Gated sites are closed approximately 15 minutes before sunset, so that the park can be locked up as safely and as efficiently as possible.

Parks with One O'Clock Clubs will be closed no earlier than 4.15pm. Toilets within parks and open spaces are normally closed 15 minutes before gates are locked, but they can be shut earlier if they are defective or unsafe for public use.
