You can now enjoy a round of chess, draughts or snakes & ladders at Godley Gardens, Leaders Gardens and Tooting Gardens.
Last year, we installed activity boards for everyone to enjoy, all year round.
Bring your own pieces, grab a friend, and enjoy a game outdoors!
As the weather warms up, our lakes become busy with wildlife.
To help protect them, we ask that dogs are kept on leads around lake edges.
Thank you for helping us look after Wandsworth’s parks and wildlife💚🐾
