Ravensbury Park was at one time part of the Ravensbury Estate. The estate was eventually broken up in 1929 and much was developed for housing, except for the present Ravensbury Park. This was bought jointly by Mitcham Council and Merton & Morden Council for £5,310. It was opened to the public in May 1930. The Wandle and its branches are the main feature of the park. This is the main channel of the Wandle looking upriver. The far bank is inaccessible.
