Parks and facilities

Sutton offers more than 90 parks and green spaces, covering nearly 500 hectares of land. 

Our parks and green spaces are of a high standard, 12 have been awarded Green Flag Status in 2024. They also provide residents and guests with a wide choice of activities, such as:

• volunteering with Park Friends and the Sutton Tree Wardens
• exploring wildlife
• sports facilities
• clubs 
• events

Join our Sutton Parks mailing list for news on park events, activities and volunteering.

You can volunteer to join a friends group in Sutton to maintain, improve and promote parks and green spaces.

A friends group can help a park by:

• bidding for external funds
• taking part in park improvement activities
• running park projects and events
• keeping a notice board up to date
• reporting damage or incidents in the park 
• bringing a park visitor's perspective to discussions on standards and how maintenance work is carried out
