After a long hiatus from the public (about 8-9 months I believe), Burgess Park which is situated in Camberwell, London has now reopened!

I pass it nearly every weekday, and have anticipated its opening for a while (from the Camberwell Road end). I only got today to get a chance to have a look of what the new version had to offer… I have only known Burgess Park to have been renovated twice! From what I remember of it, there used to be underpasses (one still exists) that would lead you into a big field. After the first renovation, a tennis court was added and lots of pathways were made… and now… It’s almost the same… Just a few hills added, lots of flowers, a bigger lake for fishing… And the entrance from Camberwell Road has changed dramatically… But why did it take so long?

I walked across the lake! Is this bridge old or new?

It’s great to go when the sun has almost set and it’s away from traffic noise too… Definitely a great place to go during the summer!! ^_^
