History

The Greenwich Peninsula development is one of Europe’s largest regeneration projects, reclaiming redundant industrial land for mixed use development. The Park was specifically built to provide recreational space for residents of the Greenwich Millennium Village, the first housing development on the Greenwich Peninsula.

Development

The Park was acquired by the Land Trust in 2015 and is managed to provide a valuable green recreational space for both wildlife and the local community.
