Myatt's Fields Park Project is the charity dedicated to keeping this green space thriving. But our work goes far beyond mowing the grass. From supporting local families and hosting cultural festivals to driving sustainability and horticultural excellence, we are building a healthier neighbourhood for everyone.
Don’t just take our word for it—explore our Project Gallery below to see the real-world impact of our work in action.
We celebrated our four-legged friends in style at the 5th annual Dog Show. With categories for every kind of dog, fantastic street food, and lively music, the atmosphere was electric. The highlight was definitely the world-famous speed-hot-dog-eating competition!
One of the highlights of our summer calendar, the Andean Festival transformed Myatt's Fields Park into a hub of Latin American culture. Coinciding with the season of Inti Raymi (The Festival of the Sun), the event was a joyous celebration of the rich heritage of the Andes, right here in Camberwell.
The goal was to create a space for cultural exchange and community connection, and the turnout was spectacular. The Victorian Bandstand became the focal point for a series of breathtaking performances that captivated visitors of all ages.
Highlights of the Day:
This event highlighted the park's role as a diverse cultural venue, successfully bringing different parts of our community together to share in music, dance, and food.
Myatt's Fields Park Project is a charity led by local people that supports the park. We have a management agreement with Lambeth Council that means from 2021 - 2023 we provide:
Lambeth remains the owner of the park and is responsible for setting and the enforcement of bye-laws.
Thanks to funding from Lambeth Early Action Partnership, we employ two family engagement workers, Clare and Sylvia. Their role is to find out what services and activities families would like to see for babies and young children (aged four and under) in Vassall Ward and to build a network of parents, which will form the basis of a parents forum to ensure that the views of local families are heard. They organise events in the park and surrounding area, for example a Teddy Bear’s Picnic at Liz Atkinson Children’s Centre, coffee mornings and toy swaps at Myatts Field South, Myatts Field North and Cowley estates, crafts and storytelling at Minet Library, and cook and eat sessions at the Mulberry Centre. Find out more about what’s coming up or email Clare and Sylvia at clare@leapintovassallandcoldharbour.org or Sylvia@leapintovassallandcoldharbour.org
We are working to become more financially sustainable, better meet the needs of our local communities and make our governance more effective and inclusive. Get involved or find out more: community@myattsfieldspark.info
