Description
Mountsfield Park has a wide range of recreational pursuits for the more energetic, including basketball, football and tennis. There is also a children's playground for the younger visitor. For those who enjoy more passive pursuits the park has ornamental gardens and a bandstand.
With its central location and car parking facilities, the park is often used for large events. The Council holds its annual People's Day event here each July, which attracts crowds of over 30,000.
Although lower than Hilly Fields the park affords excellent views west over Catford to Crystal Palace in the distance.
