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.
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.

There's literally acres of Peckham Rye that can't be locked as there's no fence around it, surely.


You could sleep there if you really wanted.

Are they not the same park, albeit with a short, jump-overable fence around the former?


Or are you scared of the north end or something?

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.

It's fairly simple to get through via Fireman's Alley.

Are you on glue? the locked bit of Peckham Rye contains a Japanese garden and some shrubs.


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

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
