Welcome to Myatt’s Fields Park Project Group website where you will learn all about Myatt’s Fields Park: past, present and future.
Myatt’s Fields Park is a pretty, Grade II listed Victorian park set in a conservation area in Vassall ward, Lambeth, London SE5. First open to the public in May 1889, it is well loved by the local community.
Myatt’s Fields Park Project Group was set up seven years ago with the aim of regenerating the park. We are local people who have worked with Lambeth Council’s Environment Directorate to develop plans to:
- Refurbish all the park’s historic features, such as its landscapes and buildings, pathways, gates and railings
- Build a new Children’s Building to replace the old One o’clock Club
- Build a new playground
- Convert the existing One O’Clock Club into a kiosk/café
- Build a new wildlife area
- Renovate the sports pitches
- Develop horticultural training and a programme of arts and events.
In November 2006, the park was given a Stage ll award by the Heritage Lottery Fund of £1.5 million. Lambeth Council has also committed a further £1.1 million to the project.
The vision for the park and the plans has been put together in consultation with local residents. We hope this website will help in allowing everyone to keep up to date with progress and give their comments and feedback.
