Hello All,


Planning a friends get together in Dulwich Park, and really want to ensure we have a great day which abides by all the rules. Looked on the Southwark website and didn't see a definitive list of the dos and don'ts for this park... can anyone help me out? Are there any rules/regulations?


For example - can we have a bbq? what about music? tables and chairs?


Many Thanks

OD

The original question was polite and considerate. Shame that uncleglen couldn't extend the same courtesy in his response.

I've been quick to call UG out on things in the past, but on this occasion he's done absolutely nothing wrong. He's pointed out where the rules could be found, and he's given an example. If you must play music, it shouldn't be at a volume that bothers other park users.

I think it was the word 'inflict' which may not have gone down well though I would have to agree that that's what someone would be doing playing music in the park.

I've just realised what Dulwich Park is missing, and what it could really do with - a band stand!

Going off at a tangent...The mention of barbecues has jogged a memory of the charcoaled patch left behind on the Rye last week. I saw a party of people with a tray barbecue on the bowling green at Brockwell Park several years back. Seriously, what kind of people think it's OK to do that?

Out of interest .... is it the same if instead of music it was someone/group of people talking really loudly or singing?

In Australia a BBQ in the park is a very common pastime and our parks and beaches provide gas or charcoal BBQs. Shame there is not anything similar here (although in comparison, the parks are tiny and so understandable that you may not want to have BBQs).

I think there is some talk of a bandstand in Dulwich Park. Sure I read something somewhere, anyone know?

Loads of BBQs in Crystal Palace Park. But if I was taking a desposable BBQ (which I see no harm in so long as they are watched and not left lying around hot for some kid to touch) you really need to be taking a couple of bricks or rocks or anything to keep the surface off the grass or we will end up with burnt patches all over the place.

      The newly landscaped Dulwich Square

      I had no idea about the sourcing of the paving stones - where is the info on this? The extension of the paved area seems completely unjustified- plus, there is a cycle lane right thru the middle so there are bound to be some near misses with pedestrians.

      That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this?

      To the thief

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?

      The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside
