Hi dirac, the Friends of Peckham Rye Park are volunteers but the Quadron gardeners (who also work in the South Cemeteries as well as parks) are not. If you are interested in becoming involved with the FOPRP or want more information about them, look at their website:

They will be having their annual fete and dog show on Saturday 3rd September.


Sorry, I don't know about the bees.

Just been on one of my walks and took in Peckham Rye.


What a pleasure that place is.. I visited the Wild Meadow near Peckham Rye / Strakers Rd. were the old Paddling Pool used to be. (1950's) Wild Flowers like Evening Prinrose. A sanctuary for Bees.. Butterflies.. Moths.. and other insects.


The park is so interesting with avenues of old trees.. a pond with Geese and Ducks.. Sexby Gardens.. beautiful Flower Beds.. an enclosed Picnic area which is Dog free.. Plenty of other space to exercise dogs.. A Cafe..


Also many open spaces for Sports and Recreaion. And plenty of seats around the park to just sit and relax.


The Park Staff are amazing.. We are all very lucky to have this facility on our doorstep.

I too recently went on a walk around the common and the park, and concur with the above sentiments. The main entrance off the common has returned to its previous former glory days of the early 1950's. Stunning bedding plants and a beautiful display. I would love to see a small museum about the history of the park, and perhaps some signs to point out the location of the old Homestall Farmhouse and where it was in conjunction with the present day park.

Thank you for that.. I was really concerned .. I feel happier knowing the team know how to deal with this awful stuff.

It is probly worse when it is near property and easier to deal with in isolation.

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
