Peckham Rye Park and Peckham Rye (Metropolitan Open Land, not Common Land), couldn't sustain the level of use the school would require. Besides the drainage issue on Peckham Rye, the pitches need to be rested periodically to cope with the current level of usage. Harris Girls Academy do use an area of the park for light athletics use in early summer, when the pitches are being rested. The ground is owned and managed by Southwark Council. Harris Academy have in place agreements with dedicated sports facilities to provide adequate provisions for their requirements.
