Folkestone Gardens, Park in Deptford, London.
Folkestone Gardens spans 2.25 hectares of green space with various landscapes, including grass areas, woodland sections, and a belt of Lombardy poplars.
The land was transformed into a public park during the 1970s after sustaining severe damage from a V-2 rocket strike in March 1945.
The gardens feature a concrete skate park, ball court, and children's play areas that serve as gathering spots for local community activities.
The park maintains daily operating hours from 8 AM until sunset, with convenient access via Surrey Canal Road bus stop and nearby rail stations.
A central pond contains an island decorated with weeping willows, complemented by pond-side plants transferred from Hare and Billet Pond on Blackheath.
