Bowls in Peckham Rye Park

[Alan Medic]

Is it still opening at week-ends anyone, please?

[Alan Medic]

Surely one of the 63 views can tell me if it's open? I could of course find out for myself but hell today I just couldn't make it.

The bowls green was open earlier today when I was walking through the park at about noon. I didn't notice any signs about opening times, sorry. I think it is managed by the same people who run the cafe on Peckham Rye, maybe you could contact them to check?

Thanks Cathy & RD. I was looking for a visual sighting of it being open as I didn't trust that the website would be up to date.

I have recently seen bowls closed on a Sunday so it is indeed worth seeking a visual confirmation
