In Southwark Park Road, which until the park was opened was called Jamaica Level. It is the main entrance to the park but from at latest the early 1900s boasted only of railings whereas all the other five gates have brick columns. The park was opened 26-06-1869 at a cost of £110,393 and Queen Victoria donated two swans, Joe and Jenny, for the lake.
