South Park, Municipal park in Ilford, United Kingdom
South Park spans 13.5 hectares with a central lake fed by Loxford Water, featuring numerous mature oak, beech, lime, and horse chestnut trees.
The land was purchased from farmer Walter Mills in 1899 for £11,200, and the park officially opened on May 10, 1902 after extensive development.
The Wildlife Education Center, established in 2011 in the former boathouse, provides educational programs about local fauna and flora.
The park remains accessible daily from 8 AM until dusk through multiple entrances, with nearby public transportation including Seven Kings station.
Three bat species inhabit the park: Common pipistrelle, Soprano pipistrelle, and Common noctule, leading to regular bat-watching events each September.
