The park is situated along the south bank of the River Thames and bordered to the south by Putney Bridge Road. The park is 8 hectares in size and is home to over 350 trees of many different species. It was purchased for £33,000 in 1898 by London County Council, Wandsworth District Board, and by public subscription. An avenue of trees form the northern edge along the river.
