Ruskin Park, Grade II listed park in Lambeth Borough, London, England.

Ruskin Park extends over 36 acres of landscaped grounds with gardens, an oval duck pond, sports facilities, and multiple walking paths through green spaces.

The park opened to the public in 1907 after local residents campaigned for its establishment, with initial design by parks creator Lt-Col JJ Sexby.

The bandstand within the park serves as a central point for community gatherings, musical performances, and seasonal events throughout the year.

Visitors can access tennis courts, basketball facilities, football pitches, and cricket grounds, with the park opening daily from 7:00 AM until sunset.

Felix Mendelssohn composed 'Spring Song' in 1842 at Dane House, which stood on the park grounds before its expansion in 1910.
