Hello All,


Planning a friends get together in Dulwich Park, and really want to ensure we have a great day which abides by all the rules. Looked on the Southwark website and didn't see a definitive list of the dos and don'ts for this park... can anyone help me out? Are there any rules/regulations?


For example - can we have a bbq? what about music? tables and chairs?


Many Thanks

OD

The original question was polite and considerate. Shame that uncleglen couldn't extend the same courtesy in his response.

I've been quick to call UG out on things in the past, but on this occasion he's done absolutely nothing wrong. He's pointed out where the rules could be found, and he's given an example. If you must play music, it shouldn't be at a volume that bothers other park users.

I think it was the word 'inflict' which may not have gone down well though I would have to agree that that's what someone would be doing playing music in the park.

I've just realised what Dulwich Park is missing, and what it could really do with - a band stand!

Going off at a tangent...The mention of barbecues has jogged a memory of the charcoaled patch left behind on the Rye last week. I saw a party of people with a tray barbecue on the bowling green at Brockwell Park several years back. Seriously, what kind of people think it's OK to do that?

Out of interest .... is it the same if instead of music it was someone/group of people talking really loudly or singing?

In Australia a BBQ in the park is a very common pastime and our parks and beaches provide gas or charcoal BBQs. Shame there is not anything similar here (although in comparison, the parks are tiny and so understandable that you may not want to have BBQs).

I think there is some talk of a bandstand in Dulwich Park. Sure I read something somewhere, anyone know?

What an insightful addition to this thread.

Made me laugh!

Loads of BBQs in Crystal Palace Park. But if I was taking a desposable BBQ (which I see no harm in so long as they are watched and not left lying around hot for some kid to touch) you really need to be taking a couple of bricks or rocks or anything to keep the surface off the grass or we will end up with burnt patches all over the place.

    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
