Bermondsey Spa area. The 4.5-acre (18,000 m2) park, with improvements designed by the architects Broadway Malyan
, is intended to act as a focal point for the surrounding area.
Origins
The park is on the site of the 18th century
WW2. The park was opened, by the Mayor of Bermondsey, in 1954.[1]
Facilities
The park was closed for redevelopment in 2005 and then re-opened in March 2006. The £2
million redevelopment furnished the park with new lighting, signage, bins, paths, plants and play equipment. In addition, the Ellen Brown Bermondsey Play Centre was built. This building is shared by a Sure Start centre, Southwark Play Services and a small café.[2]
There is a running path and exercise equipment.
