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?

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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
