Vauxhall Park

[1] It occupies an 8.5-acre (3.4 ha) site,[2] and was created at a cost of around £45,000,[3] following a public campaign led by the suffragist Millicent Fawcett, the social reformer Octavia Hill and members of the Kyrle Society.

The land was purchased from a local developer under the Vauxhall Park Act 1888.

[7] A statue of Fawcett by the artist George Tinworth was erected in the park in 1903,[8][9] but was removed by Lambeth Council in 1959 and has since been replaced by a plaque.

Octavia Hill, a staunch believer that all people ought to have access to nature and open spaces, and the Commons Preservation Society successfully campaigned against development in the park in the late 19th century.

The facilities in the park include a children's playground, a One O’Clock Club, a nursery, a multi-use games area, two tennis courts, chess tables, a park café, and two fenced dog areas.
