Ruskin Park — Attraction in London

Ruskin Park is somewhere you can go to to enjoy all manner of recreational needs. It is small enough to jog around, several times, if you're fit enough! The paths are clear and open. If you want a family picnic, there are beautiful grassy, sheltered areas by the pond. There are even some picnic tables next to the traditional bandstand. Amenities such as the newly furbished tennis courts, 4 in all, serve for tennis players to have an hours play at any time of the day. There is a great playground area for the kids, with safe surfaces, and a small cafe kiosk next to it. There is a large paddling pool here too. A new outdoor gym has recently opened. The park has sectioned spaces for dog walking and bins for their mess. It has a friendly and safe atmosphere. Often sports groups organise matches here, cricket, on the marked crease, and football on the large level green, which is situated between Finson Road and Ferndene Road. During the summer months, The Friends of Ruskin Park organise concerts at the bandstand, which are free. Other events which take place are school fetes and charity fairs. Kings College hospital is next door. The park also has an historic monument, leftover from the 19th Century, when Sir Henry Bessemer lived here.

That's a lovely park and even so big not isolated from central road . pretty safe if you get an emergency issue .such as dehydrated or stang by a wasp or panic attack ,you can drop by the emergency as King 's college hospital is a second away.

The fact there is a separate part for dogs to run around and pedestrians makes it feel even safer , regarding children s fun ,I didn't check yesterday. But they used to fill a little bassin sunny mornings where babies and kids could have real fun ,from 10am ,That was so much fun to watch them too. Lovely trees and flowers ,good for weeding's photos and some toilets at the middle of the park useful , picnic tables and benches ,one of the entrance door leads right to Carnegie Library back on track.So yes pretty pleasant place to pass by , a bit of nature on your way.During weekends.

A beautiful park with refurbished bandstand, with The Cat Cafe kiosk with outside seating every day, serveing 'real coffee,' mugs of builders tea, cakes and ice-creams in Summer. It also sells fresh organic produce, grown, harvested and foraged from within the Park. There is a 'family/picnic' area which is cordoned off away from hungry mutts. There is a dog free wildlife educational area with pond and a family of ducks. And before the dog owners get churlish dogs are free in the rest of this medium to large sized space to walk and roam! Dog owners are asked to put dogs on lead if need be to respect other users. This including users of a gritted sports/football area, an open grassy field for all sports, and two fenced tennis courts. What with all that as well as a lottery funded state of the art children's play area, excellent hortuculture practice playing with well kept beds, shrubs and trees, and greenhouse project for volunteers Myattsfield Park stacks up to be one of the best in South London.
