Dr Dave Dawson, local environmental scientist, commented:
“It's sad that a large old ash tree by the cafe has a fungal infection and there's a significant risk of falling limbs. To keep the public safe, unfortunately the tree will be removed.
[This] underlines the importance of planting more trees.”

Message from Merton Council /Idverde staff regarding the Wimbledon Park Elisabeth Pool / splash pad:
Please help us keep the splash pool open by making sure children don’t bring sand – especially in buckets – from the sandpit into the pool. Even small amounts of sand can damage the filter & pumps.

At long last there is a drinking water fountain in Wimbledon Park. After years of campaigning, a successful petition and a promise to install in 2024, the new water fountain was installed on the back of the lakeside water sports centre this week. We were hoping for 3, so will keep asking !
