Wandle Park

Wandle Park

Wandle Park is an 8.5 hectare park located in the Broad Green Ward of the London Borough of Croydon. It was opened in 1890 by the Mayor of Croydon.

The River Wandle flows through the park in an underground culvert which was constructed in 1967. The park used to contain a boating lake which was filled in at the same time.

The park is used by many people and is very popular with dog walkers, footballers, joggers, skateboarders and families.
