• "One of the most beautiful parks in South London, with so much going on."
• "Very good play area for children."

Cons:

• "The park is in the middle of Tulse Hill, Herne Hill and Brixton. The closest underground station is Brixton on the Victoria line and one bus located to the left of the station when you come out, you can catch the 2, 196, 3, 322......"
• "The WC facilities were not that great and there was no soap in them and the lights did not work."
• "Free parking at the lido."

Events and Community

Cons:

• "Hah! Maybe I went at the wrong time or maybe went to the wrong entrance but Brockwell park was disappointing to me. Over grown grass and bush, rubbish everywhere, boarded up etc."
• "Lambeth have made it into a money making fiasco with all the music and rubbish country fair etc."
• "I used to love it. I simply hate it now."
• "Wow, this has changed a LOT! Just full of white middle class families and people who chant 'entitled' at you if you dare refuse them what they are requesting."
• "Good family event, but food was very expensive (up to £14 for food)."
• "We were going to use the public toilets but the floor was awfully dirty and smelly. There was even a daddy long legs lurking in there. No thank you! :/"
• "Outside the gated play area the park and sitting areas on grass are full of dogs running around."
