Although it is
comparatively small it provides a wide variety of leisure
activities for users of all ages. There is a one o'clock club
for parents and carers with toddlers, a playground for young
children, two football and basket ball courts for teenagers,
four tennis courts, a dog run and a dog free picnic area. The
gardens are beautifully laid out with many mature trees,
flowering shrubs and flower borders. They are regularly
maintained to a high standard by Lambeth Council. There is
something for everyone and this makes the park a real
community centre.
The Friends of Hillside
Gardens plays a valuable role in the upkeep and planning of
the park. It promotes activities such as sports and family fun
days. It forms an interface between the residents and Lambeth
Council to discuss maintainance and development plans. It is
freely open to any park user who wishes to join.
