Greenwich parks and open spaces
- Greenwich parks and open spaces
The London Borough of Greenwich has over fifty parks and open spaces within its boundaries. They include:
* Avery Hill Park
* Bostall Heath and Woods
* Blackheath
* Charlton Park
* Eltham Common
* Greenwich Park
* Horn Park
* Maryon Park in Charlton
* Maryon Wilson Park in Charlton
* Oxleas Wood and adjoining Castle Wood and Jack Wood
* Plumstead Common and the adjoining Winns Common
* Shooters Hill which includes Eaglesfield Park
* Woolwich Common
The "Royal Arsenal Gardens" are the most recent to be opened and occupy hitherto industrial land.
The Green Chain, a linked series of linear and circular walks, include some of those open spaces within Greenwich. The Chain originates at three points along the River Thames and stretches to Crystal Palace Park.
Riverside
Greenwich is a riverside borough, and one of the largest open spaces is the Thames itself, forming the northern boundary of the borough. A sign posted riverside trail forms a walkway for both pedestrians and cyclists.
