    Such a lovely park. It is under-rated. The grass is of good quality, ample open spaces, lots of nice wooden benches that are clean and not rotting and without risk of sprinters. The park is very family and pet friendly. Flat - easy to push strollers, and plenty of place for picnics. There is a playground for children. A gated pretty garden area with large lawns of purple lavender. It is very peaceful, calm vibe. It feels very safe. For Vauxhall area - this is the nicest park. You don’t even hear traffic or cars/ despite it being a modestly small park. Well worth a visit.

    This is a regular place for me to visit, either to walk, relax, or exercise. There are lots of pathways to take you in different directions. There is a beautiful fenced garden with lavender and plenty of seating. Also the mini houses are great for kids! There is a large children's play area and plenty of seating nearby for parents and carers. The fountain is well maintained in summer and kids love it!

    A moderate park with few sections of green grassfields. People always lying on the grass relaxing and enjoying themselves. No football field posts but the park is good for playing and jugging around. Children's playground also good and the park is not dirty overall. The children's playground is called Lambeth Children's play area which could be interpreted as not for children not born in Lambeth. Vauxhall park children playground or just children playground would do.

    Great green space in the heart of Vauxhall. It has a kids play area (currently closed due to renovation ) and a separate fenced dog section which is really popular with local dog owners. It’s close to the busy South Lambeth Road but has quieter spots over the back including a beautiful scented lavender garden. Also has a cafe and some limited bench seating. The squirrels are very tame and will hassle you for food!

    Vauxhall park is very cosy, it has tennis courts, an amusement park for the little ones and a miniature village... People can walk, jog, sit, and walk their dogs.

    Small park with lots of benches to soak up the sun while kids play in a well-equipped playground. Benches are named after people🥰, great gesture. The greenery makes you forget you are a few mins from the traffic on the main road and Vauxhall station. Popular with people on their lunch break, and parents with pushchairs or joggers. There is a café on-site next to the tennis courts.

    Great Park for a picnic as there are tables with benches, big park at the back for kids (loads of climbing frames) and 2 big play areas for dogs to play in. Only bad side is water fountains haven't worked for sometime now

    This is a fantastic green space right in the heart of Vauxhall. It’s used by the community and has facilities for all. We take our dog and we see people using it to relax, play tennis, sunbathe etc. The park has water facilities for drinking and these have dog bowls which are very useful. There’s a fenced space which dogs can’t go into which is great for those who don’t want to be around dogs. The park has a small cafe in the corner and children’s play equipment.

    Near the river and with remnants of lavender fields formerly used for perfumery. Little fairy houses, some healing herbs and mature trees. The weeping willow is gorgeous! Italian cafe inside park, well loved with many regulars of all ages and nationalities except Portuguese (nearby South Lambeth Road is mecca for Portuguese food). Tranquil setting dogs on leads are allowed and so are free ranging human little ones

    The park is great with varieties of Things to play around with. So my younger brother that's got autism enjoys playing in the park, but when it's dark he becomes scared of staying in the park. I think the park should be fitted with lights all around and even in the playing areas so that people can stay longer when it becomes dark. Especially in this period when it gets dark quickly

    The park is not very big but it has nice facilities (tennis court and ping pong table), and a very beautiful garden with lavenders in the back. There's also a cafe in the entrance. Perfect spot for a nice walk if you're nearby.
