About Myatt's Fields Park Playground
Myatt's Fields Park is a 14-acre Victorian park in Camberwell in the London Borough of Lambeth. Both the park itself and its bandstand are Grade II listed, reflecting its historic design; the park opened in 1889. It offers a free modern children's playground featuring climbing frames, swings and a zip line, popular with families in the Camberwell and Brixton area. Entry to the park and playground is free. The park includes a bandstand, summerhouse and cafe, and is also home to tennis courts, a football pitch, a basketball court, a picnic area, a children's playground and a community greenhouse. Toilets are located by the Park Depot next to the Cormont Road entrance. The playground has previously included a water play feature, though the water play system has at times been out of use pending repairs to the surface, so families should check current availability before relying on it. With its combination of heritage features, gardens and modern play equipment, Myatt's Fields Park is a well-regarded local family destination. The park is managed in partnership between Lambeth Council and a local charity that runs community activities on the site.
