Ruskin Park

[phili]

Sorry, I don't know if this counts in the East Dulwich Forum but about 3 weeks ago, around peak/home time, as I walked through the park with a few people, there was an old man doing a poo in the middle of the path!!

This has mentally scarred me for life.

You should've rubbed his nose in it

[intexasatthe moment]

The park is very close to the Maudsley ,so I guess this may have been someone with mental health issues ,or substance abuse .

I love the paddling pool in this park ,but otherwise just find it incredibly depressing .

Though handy to take inpatients at Kings for some fresh( ish ) air .

Ruskin Park is beautiful.

I agree...some lovely mature trees...full of squirrels (including an albino)...

And Quids, I haven't seen anyone crapping in a public park either...but then I've had a sheltered life...

You just sprint through them, you shouuld tske your time.

[Ladymuck]

I think I might just take your advice - for once;-)

Watch this space for reports of crapping ED-effers.

[daizie]

i once did a poo on the beach, in sydenham hill woods and behind the couch

[KalamityKel]

Often happens in the Camberwell area late night/early hours...

edited to add I didn't mean myself!

[Ladymuck]

Blimey, I really do need to get out more (actually...on reflection...perhaps not)...I've never seen such behaviour

Yes, living a sheltered life really does have much to recomend it.

I've done a poo in public. But then I was only two...

really? Wow. I love Ruskin Park. Much better playground than anything I've found in ED, and the paddling pool is top. Besides, sometimes you get to meet the Quidses there.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Given the public funding cut backs it could be that there will be alot more public poo-age required.

Although pooing on the footpath is a bit rum. Having a dump on one of the flower borders would have been less unsightly and would have provided nutrients to the plants.

we like it too, may be the new goose green will be better (if and when they manage to finish it) but the playground certainly beats e.g. dulwich park or peckham rye in the eyes of my children

Ruskin's fantastic. Brockwell and Sydenham Hills aside, best park in the area. And best playground this side of Telegraph Hill. They even land helicopters on it.

[expat]

you do know why they land helicopters in Ruskin park right?

[Ladymuck]

No! Do tell expat...

[brum]

...because the runway is too short to land planes? ;-)

[Ladymuck]

tres drole Poubelle:)

[expat]

[Ladymuck]

Y...eeee...eeesss...

and the Maudsley...
