Belvedere Recreation Ground dates from 1896 and is comprised of two parts north and south of Woolwich Road. The north part had a paddling pool and bandstand, the latter becoming the site of a sandpit, and trees including mature lime and horse chestnut. The old paddling pool has been transformed into Belvedere Splash Park, a large free-access wet play park. The south part of the park is predominantly playing fields, with mature trees including horse chestnut and a fine copper beech. There may have been air raid shelters located in the south. |
