Background
History
The land occupied by the park was allotments until 1897. It was purchased for £33,000 by London County Council, Wandsworth District Board, and by public subscription. After being laid out by Lt. Col. J. J. Sexby, a horticulturist and London County Council’s then Superintendent of Parks, the park opened on Saturday, 28 February 1903. The Friends of Wandsworth Park is a community organisation set up in 2014 to improve and sustain the park and manage the formal garden areas.
Description
Two pieces from the Putney Sculpture Trail by Alan Thornhill are in the park: Nexus is on the southern side by Putney Bridge Road and Pygmalion is on the north-eastern riverside near the entrance to Prospect Quay. There are two Victorian stink pipes to provide ventilation for Joseph Bazalgette's sewer system. A new riverside terrace opened in 2019 in the north-west corner of the park, a formerly disused area.
