Manor Park, Public park and cemetery in Sutton, United Kingdom
Manor Park is a public green space with cemetery sections in central Sutton, bordered by several roads and close to the town center. The grounds feature a children's playground, outdoor exercise equipment, a cafe, and facilities including toilets and accessible pathways.
The land opened to the public in 1914 after a former manor house and its grounds were handed to the town. Additional parcels were added over the following decades, gradually expanding the space into its current form.
The war memorial shapes how the space feels and serves as a place where locals remember fallen soldiers from the First World War. Visitors can walk past it and notice the crafted stone and inscriptions that mark this quiet corner of remembrance.
The park is easy to access with wheelchair-friendly pathways and plenty of seating areas throughout. Visitors will find toilet facilities on site and can use the outdoor spaces and equipment at any time of day.
The park cafe was built using straw-based roof construction and local materials for energy and temperature control. This building method stood out in London as an early example of sustainable construction techniques.
