Springfield Park now open to the public!

London’s newest Green Space has officially opened!

The largest new park to be created in the capital since the 2012 Olympics is now open to the public in south-west London! Springfield Park, a stunning 32-acre space in Tooting, is part of the new Springfield Village – a community built around the transformation of Springfield University Hospital by an NHS trust.

The park features:
✔️ A pavilion café
✔️ Amphitheatre
✔️ Fitness trail
✔️ Children’s play areas
✔️ Scenic ponds
✔️ 700 newly planted trees

The park has been opening in phases since 2023 and is now fully complete. The official opening was marked by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, alongside Tooting MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, Wandsworth Council Leader Simon Hogg, and local residents.

Artelia’s appointment was with STEP, a 50/50 partnership between Sir Robert McAlpine Capital Ventures Ltd and Kajima Partnerships who delivered the development on behalf of SWLSTG.

Artelia provided Employer’s Agent services for delivery of the park, public realm, district heating system, new roads and other primary infrastructure facilitating the creation of 839 new homes, community shops and café, a care home and land for development of a primary school. The park itself has created a network of green spaces, gardens, play areas and routes linking not just to the new health and residential developments, but also the surrounding areas of Tooting.
