Why not? Lots of facilities for kids are still closed because of COVID and lots of parents have lost jobs and money because of COVID. Peckham Rye playpark is somewhere healthy and free that parents can take kids for a couple of hours...but there is little shade there and without the water it's oppressively hot.
Ah, Southwark Council, water features and Peckham Rye Park..... a recurring issue that seems incapable of solution. In 2014 I was on here talking about the renovation and lamenting the poor design of the previous iteration of ?improvements? to Peckham Rye. The uphill flowing stream was a special touch that lasted about 3 weeks before being switched off never to see water again. Renata the councillor is usually the best bet for these issues. 😉 good luck

I assume it's still covid related, but it was pretty obvious when they built this obvious white elephant that the water would be permanently turned off pretty quickly after opening, because the same thing happens in every other park where they've ever built one of these.



See Brockwell park for the nearest example.

This playground us an absolute shambles now. Really neglected


Half the equipment is broken, including all of the water features, the trampoline, the large climbing frame, the diggers, in of the sand pits is empty with all the sand being stuck in the water equipment and 90% 9f the plants they put in are dead.


It's awful.

Southwark council councillors need to be told as well as the local paper. Countless projects promise much but then get neglected because attention turns to the next big thing. If s water feature is there then it should be working and not left to rot.
Litter in the playpark is 90% a result of careless parents not cleaning up after their kids (and it wouldn't kill anyone to pick up a couple of pieces of other people's rubbish when they see it), and foxes raiding bins overnight.

    • Hi all My car was stolen between 1.30pm-1.50pm today in SE22 East Dulwich in South East London. I have of course reported this to the police but not much is being done, so I thought I'd give this a shot. The registration is GM66YOV, though its possible the licence plate may have been changed by now. If you see it anywhere please contact me or the police. Thankyou!
    • Years ago, got my ears pierced, alcohol on site, gun ..done.. Simple.. Gosh, surely your daughter of mothers can recommend  - do you really need to post on forum? Or maybe you home school whatever.. still recovering from shock, posted along the lines of, advice needed about adopting/ buying a dog…. Guess I am now at a age, where I should just keep quiet and pass no comment and read  postings like a “soap” - cheaper than tv licence…                    
    • Looking for a wrought iron bench with wooden slats in need of restoration - something like this.
    • I would'nt go locally I'd go to Maria Tash in Liberty..it'll be more expensive but they will do a good job and its their buisness not a 'sideline' to other beauty offerings. https://www.mariatash.com/store-locations/maria-tash-london-liberty?srsltid=AfmBOoqMz7Ev-4YqzrlkePX0n3i5JbiggGYSR9kU5z1p_ajP_jjQKqlt I have no experience of piercing at Polished but I went in to enquire about a manicure and I found the staff attitude pretty rude, looking me up and down when I walked in and just giving off a bad attitude like they just could'nt be bothered maybe because I'm not a glam 30 something? I dont know.
