View of Pioneer Point from South Park
Looking west across the football field. Nobody is playing on it today, but it looks like the Canada geese could be getting ready for a game!

Ilford: South Park: The Lake
As usual in parkland with lakes copious numbers of feral Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) are evident. These are a species first introduced to the UK from North America in 1665, as an addition to the waterfowl collection of King Charles II at St James’ Park.

Flower bed in South Park
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.
In this view near the north-west corner of the park, South Park Crescent is to the right and South Park Road is to the left.
