[edit] Other Features
This is quite a hilly park and therefore not used to its full potential by many but there are some hidden delights.
[edit] Playground
It contains an excellent new playground complex for all ages up to teenage - including a small mini football (soccer) pitch. There is a one o clock club for young children and carers and an impressive paddling pool (although currently not in use for much of the year) - however, there is an excellent one reasonably close by on Streatham Common.

[edit] Floodlit astroturf football pitch / tennis courts
It enjoys spectacular views over London spanning from Hammersmith in the West to the Millennium Dome in the East
