About Rowan Park informal recreation area

Rowan Park informal recreation area is a 2.4-hectare public park in Merton’s Longthornton ward, on Rowan Road in south London. Merton Council lists a play area, grass area and pond among the park’s facilities. The council’s separate play-area listing identifies Rowan Park as a playground for toddlers and juniors, with a multiplay unit, slide, rockers and seesaw. This distinguishes it from the nearby Rowan Road Recreation Ground, which has a different listing and facilities. The park is not locked at night, although Merton Council advises against using it between dusk and dawn. The council lists Rowan Park among the parks and recreation grounds in the Mitcham area, while its location entry gives Rowan Road, Streatham, SW16. The pond and open grass give this small local green space a different emphasis from the paddling pool and ball-game facilities at Rowan Road Recreation Ground. For families, Rowan Park’s toddler and junior equipment is the specific reason to choose this stop.
