Wandsworth Park, Urban park along River Thames in Putney, England.

Wandsworth Park extends across 8 hectares of green space with more than 350 trees, a central playing field, and paths along the riverbank.

The London County Council and Wandsworth District Board purchased the land, formerly allotment gardens, for £33,000 in 1898 and opened it in 1903.

Two sculptures from the Putney Sculpture Trail by Alan Thornhill, 'Nexus' and 'Pygmalion', stand within the Grade II listed grounds.

The park includes tennis courts, a 12-hole golf course, public toilets, a café, and a children's playground suitable for ages 2 to 16.

Victorian stink pipes remain in the park as ventilation for Joseph Bazalgette's underground sewer system, marking a piece of London's engineering history.
