The Grove Park

The Grove Park forms a key part of the Carshalton Conservation Area occupying the north and east sides of Carshalton village's Lower Pond. It can be divided into two areas: the ornamental park near the ponds and the recreation ground to the east. The latter, created from fields in the 1920s, now houses a children's playground, crazy golf, bowling green, ball park, cafe, and toilets. The area of the site is 7.21 hectares.

"When parks and green spaces are well-managed and maintained, they are a wonderful asset we should feel proud about and every single one of us should have easy access to parks such as this." *

The playground was highly commended in The Grove's Green Flag Award. The Minister for Regeneration summed up some of the award criteria as that which "makes a really good park: somewhere that feels welcoming, safe and uplifting and which involves the local community in the life of their park".
