Andystar Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hi everyone.Can anyone tell me what time Dulwich park opens? I was hoping to kick start my marathon training plan & go for a run at 6am tomorrow morning (wishful thinking, I know) but i've seen loads of different opening times listed. Does anyone have the correct opening time pls?? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6488-dulwich-park-opening-times/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Dulwich Park used to open very early, on a Saturday at least, at its main entrance. But recently when heading there for my Saturday long run I've found the damn thing still shut at around 7am. Depends where you live, but you might want to head to the Rye if you're out early. Or Burgess Park which is open 24 hrs. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6488-dulwich-park-opening-times/#findComment-208052 Share on other sites More sharing options...

reetpetite Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Officially they dont open till 8 .We have the same problem with Peckham Rye park but we can find a way in. I dont think thats so easy at Dulwich . I would opt for running around the Rye there are quite a few runners around at that time , thats if you can get to it easily enough.

SimonM Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The Rye and the Rye park are vastly different propositions! Don't know the official closing time of the latter though, sorry.

Or are you scared of the north end or something?

Dulwich Born And Bred Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I have seen many people with their dogs, climb over the fence , doggy under the arm of an early morning in Dulwich park! They always find a way to get in! I wonder what the wardens say when they seem them walking their dogs in the park after they have opened up?!That is the Dulwich Library end!

Spoke to wardens in the parkon Saturday and it can be as late as 9.30 depends how many on duty as they have to travel between them all so some have to be early while others get locked late,but its the gardening staff that open up.

bignumber5 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 dulwich park opens at 8am, closes (now) at about 8.30pm. Closing time changes throughout the year based on when it starts getting dark. There's a notice board just inside the court lane entrance with the times for the whole year.

taper Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 eWell the swine was closed at 7-15 this morning. It's been light for two and a half hours by then; athletes need to train, and dogs need to defecate. Bah! Pull your finger out Southwark.

reetpetite Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Theres no reason why they cant open at 7 they did last year and the staff are there at 7 and sometimes earlier (thats at Peckham Rye park but southwark just the same ) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6488-dulwich-park-opening-times/#findComment-209803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unlocked bit contains acres of grass, suitable for picnics and running.

SimonM Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 First I'm scared, then I'm on glue. Are you capable of posting a message without a gratuitous insult?
