Park history

History, archives & memories of old

Since the FOHP was reformed in 2020, we have heard from so many in the local community who have shared their childhood memories of good times in Home Park as the park has changed over the years.

Local author Candy Blackham also featured Home Park in her Green Lewisham book released in Spring 2022; a collection of her explorations of Lewisham’s parks and open spaces. You can read her beautiful account of Home Park in modern day and historic times on her blog here.
