South Park was created following Ilford Council's purchase of 32 acres of the Loxford Hall Estate in 1899. The park opened in 1902. It contains a large lake with several islands, formed by diverting water from Loxford Water, which is part of Seven Kings Brook. The site of the bandstand remains marked by hedging and a tarmac path skirts the perimeter of the park. In 1923 the Broadway A clock tower was erected in the park, but destroyed by a bomb in 1944.
