Southwark Park, Grade II listed park in Rotherhithe, England.
Southwark Park extends across 63 acres of land, featuring a boating lake, ornamental gardens, sports facilities, and extensive walking paths throughout the grounds.
The park opened in 1869 under the Metropolitan Board of Works, with Alexander McKenzie designing the layout as one of London's first public recreation spaces.
The rose garden commemorates Ada Salter, while the historic bandstand from 1884 originally stood at the Royal Horticultural Society grounds in South Kensington.
The park includes tennis courts, football pitches, an athletics track, two galleries, public toilets, and multiple cafes for visitors' convenience.
A Tree of Heaven stands in the Old English Cottage Garden, connecting to the Quaker beliefs of the Salter family who influenced the park's development.
