Sunnyside Community Gardens were founded in 1977 when local residents lobbied the council to let them use an area of wasteland to create a community garden. The site is just the other side of Sunnyside Road from Elthorne Park. The community gardens were designed by the Community Land and Workspace Service, and the area was transformed into a landscaped garden with a meadow area, a small pond, paths and a wooded area for all the community to enjoy. The gardens specialise in therapeutic horticulture for people with physical and mental disabilities, but are open for all to use and enjoy during the daytime. This mural is next to the entrance from Hazellville Road.
