Welcome to The Friends of Kennington Park
About the Friends
The Friends of Kennington Park is a voluntary organisation set up over 20 years ago to improve the park. We work with Lambeth Council, who run the park, to help keep the park in good shape and bring improvements and new facilities for our ever-increasing number of visitors.
We would love to make more friends! Would you like to join us? Click here to get involved and really make a difference.
Every penny helps...

Park Opening Hours: The park is open from dawn until dusk.

Save Kenny – Calling all skateboarders and fans of Kennington Park
Kennington Park’s legendary 1970s skatebowl – known as Kenny – is under threat. After years of planning and hard work, Lambeth Council is now considering pulling the funding that was allocated to restore it. The decision will be made at the Council meeting on 24 September – just days away.
Find out how you can help us save the skatebowl here or sign our petition
FoKP AGM - September 23rd...
Join us at Durning Library on Tuesday, September 23rd, 7.30pm. We'll share drinks & light refreshments from 7.00pm, then report on the past year, and tell you about plans for the future.
And your brand new, Summer 2025 edition of our printed Parklife newsletter will be waiting for you, on your chair! The agenda and reports are available here to view ahead of the meeting.
All are welcome, but only members may vote. Join – or renew your membership – here.

New cricket facilities in the park!
Surrey Cricket and the English Cricket Board working with Lambeth Council, SCCC and the ECB have installed two new nets.
So that means Kennington Park now has four cricket nets, as well as its brand new all-weather pitch!
