About

Burgess Park West sits on a broad swathe of green that was assembled from former streets and yards. The park contains sports pitches, paths for walking and cycling, play areas and stretches of grass used for informal recreation. Water remains from the old Grand Surrey Canal: a canal basin and an ornamental lake form focal points for ducks and reedbeds, and they mark the park’s industrial past as much as its present use for leisure.

John Ruskin Street runs alongside the park and is lined with housing, small shops and light businesses that open directly onto pavements and cycle routes. Community groups use the park edge for markets, exercise classes and local events, and there are sightlines from the street onto the water and playing fields. Movement through the area is generally on foot or by bike, with clear pedestrian routes linking the street to park entrances and to the neighbourhood beyond.
