Wandle Park is a public park of eleven acres in Colliers Wood in suburban Surrey. It is found to the south of Wandle Meadow Nature Park, and is bounded to the south by Colliers Wood High Street, where there is an entrance, by the River Wandle to the west, and Byegrove Road to the north.
The park is named from the River Wandle, beside whose waters it stretches.
History
The land was purchased by Wimbledon Corporation for a public park and vested in the National Trust. The park opened in 1907. In 1910 the Mill Pond Garden was added, purchased by public subscription.
Its footprint contains what was once the site of Wandlebank House and grounds. Recent re-design of the park was undertaken through Merton Groundwork Trust, completed by 2003.
