Morden Park

Morden Park is a nature reserve in Morden that contains diverse habitats including woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands spread across roughly 50 hectares. The grounds support many native plant and animal species in these varied environments.

The park was acquired in 1945 by Merton and Morden Urban District Council for public access and use. This purchase made the land available to the community and protected its natural value for the future.

The park functions as a central gathering place where locals enjoy walks, play sports, and spend time outdoors throughout the year. Visitors notice how the natural setting allows people to escape the surrounding urban environment and connect with open space.

Multiple entrance points from Epsom Road, Morden Lane, and London Road provide easy access to the grounds. A network of walking paths connects through the park, making it easy to explore different habitats and areas at a comfortable pace.

The grounds contain the Morden Park mound, a designated ancient monument with archaeological value located within the reserve. Pyl Brook flows through the site, creating additional habitats and water features that support specialized species.
