Parks and open spaces offer a refreshing opportunity to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of modern city life. Green space is vital for our health and wellbeing. Whether you wish to enjoy sports, take a healthy stroll, or find a place for quiet reflection, you will never be far away from a green space that you can enjoy.
Lewisham offers a wide range of parks from small local spaces to metropolitan parks like Blackheath and Beckenham Place Park. Children can have fun discovering new play areas and learning about the hidden treasures of our nature reserves and woodlands.
The management of the parks and their facilities is contracted to Glendale Grounds Management who work in partnership with Lewisham Council to improve the accessibility and quality of parks and open spaces.
The Greenscene department oversees the management of parks by Glendale, and directly manages nature conservation sites, allotments and other open spaces.
