Fresh
water flows in the river while birds feed and paddle around. Squirrels
were determined to crack the collected nuts fallen from the trees and
given by happy people in the park.
There
are no signs of fear in their eyes as no one tries to hunt or threaten
their lives. Swans, geese, ducks, seagulls, pigeons and the like give
life to the entire public park, where the River Wandle runs. It serves
as there green home where some of them live and multiply. These animals
are amazingly tame and will follow you if you carry a bag of crumbs.
There
is a historical house in the park that is now occupied by departments
of the London Borough of Sutton. A few working offices are there too.
The park is enclosed by walls and fences and its gates close at night
and open early in the morning. The west corner has a large river which
attracts geese and swans etc. Moreover, looking from the river is the Old
Woodman Pub and to its right is the Ancient All Saints' Parish Church.

This
park which run adjacent to Carshalton High Street has a few interesting
man made structures like the white bridge called Leoni Bridge, the
discarded watermill and the ornamental design cascade.

The
park has fixed benches to use when watching the placid water and
playful birds. Grasses are mown every week that makes the entire
surrounding neat and tidy. The roses are pruned back and the bedding
plants are ready to burst into colours. Toddlers, children and teenagers
like this park as there are playgrounds full of facilities they can
enjoy using for free. Food and snacks are available at the cafeteria
beside the toddlers' playground.
