Belvedere Recreation Ground (Belvedere Recreation Ground South and Belvedere Splash Park)

Introduction

Belvedere Recreation Ground dates from 1896 and is in 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 with surrounding lime and horse chestnut trees. The old paddling pool is now Belvedere Splash Park. The south part of the park is predominantly playing fields, with mature trees including horse chestnut and a fine copper beech.
