Parks and open spaces

Overview

Wandsworth boasts many beautiful parks and open spaces; within our borough, 670 hectares (1600 acres) is covered by parks, commons, allotments, and cemetery land - the largest proportion for any inner London authority and almost five times the size of Hyde Park. This land is owned by the council and managed by the parks service.
