Wandle Park, Urban park in Waddon, United Kingdom.
The River Wandle flows through this 8.5-hectare park, featuring a bandstand, tennis courts, basketball facilities, and multiple garden areas throughout the grounds.
The park emerged from two watermeadows called Frog Mead and Stubbs Mead in 1890, when Croydon Corporation transformed the land into a public recreation space.
Regular events at the bandstand, community gardening activities, and sports competitions bring local residents together throughout different seasons of the year.
The park maintains multiple entrances around its perimeter and connects directly to the Wandle Park tram station on Route 3 of the local network.
The River Wandle remained hidden underground from 1967 until 2012, when extensive restoration work brought the waterway back to the surface.
