I'll second this - perhaps when funding comes up - late in the year?? - its worth putting an application in?

Re: running up hill. It STILL makes me mad every time I pass the one o'clock club and remember how lovely that water feature was for a few brief weeks and how much the kids enjoyed it. I just don't understand why the contractor got away without snagging this???

Putting it right - assuming its too late for them to be held to account - would also be high up my cleaner, greener wish list...

I will post on here when the next application round for CGS is open (usually in the autumn).

peckham rye park is looking great ... and when we came out of the park and onto the rye yesterday afternoon around 4.30 there was a rather brilliant 7-piece brass band playing just in front and to the side of the cafe... anyone know whe they are and if they'll be returning? so lovely to sit on the grass and listen!

Moved away from dulwich a few years ago and still really miss the parks, especially this one. Must visit soon.

I agree with above comments especially about Sexby Garden. A good place for a quiet read. The Oval garden very colourful right now too.

Peckham Park is fantastic, and if you're a fan of Rhododendrons, get yourself up to Dulwich Park too, some fantastic large Rhods just coming into bloom right now...

It does look great at the moment and there's more to come. The new fernery is being worked on and will be open soon.

If you're on Twitter, tweet your pics of the park & common to @PeckhamRyePark for a retweet.

Where will the fernery be? I like ferns :)

Just the other side of the path from the bowling green gate.

Peckham Rye Park looks a lot better maintained than Dulwich Park in recent years. It's such a fantastic space and always in use, have always loved it. Plus I have yet to see rats there, although I do avoid it in barbecue season.

A lovely space - still undiscovered by many locals!
