The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

The park was massively re-landscaped in 2003/04 to provide the 'Quaggy River Flood Alleviation Scheme'. The heavily channelled river would previously flood Lewisham and nearby areas after exceptionally heavy rain, but Sutcliffe Park now provides a restored 'flood plain' and a natural solution to the problem.
