First Child is one of a very few pieces of contemporary artwork in this area of London. It was designed and made by sculptor Raymond Watson and has been a pleasing fixture on the edge of this park since 1994. The piece is designed to show the joy and happiness of having a child but also the great responsibility and fragility this can cause within the parent.
