    Lovely little (very little) local grassy area where an artist had put lots of quirky things he made or found. I live a minute away from it but I wouldn't make a day trip out of it. The artist has passed away so not sure who will maintain it now but if you live local you can visit it.

    Very interesting in a caring way. Nice lay-out of planting with an eclectic mix of various ornaments and items to distract and enhance the experience for visitors. Lovely place.

    Very nice and well-maintained "park". It is awesome for a picnic or just come for a chill. I put some of my flowers and plants to help the community garden grow ❀️

    This garden was created by Brazilian artist Claudio Funari,with the neighbour's help. It is a clean and beautiful spot by the River Wandle. This space has brought the community together and is a place of joy where the kids of the area can play safely.

    We will miss Claudio! He was such an amazing guy who always had a smile on his face. My twins love it as it calms them down. A gem in Hackbridge

    Lovely little space to relax in. Council need to remove pile of branches and cut grass. But overall great little area.

    Preferred when it was a simple green space. Not keen on all the junk collected there like wire β€˜sculptures’ planks of wood, tires, metal etc. I do hope the council remove the rubbish and restore it back to the green space it was before.
