Snowscape showing the River Ravensbourne running through a secondary channel in the northern part of Ladywell Fields Park, Lewisham. Ladywell Fields, formerly called (and still well known locally as) Ladywell Recreation Ground, was purchased for a public open space in 1889, to serve the growing population of Lewisham and Catford. Ladywell Fields form a valuable green corridor running adjacent to Lewisham High Street. A public foot and cycle path, with street lighting, runs the length of the park and forms an integral section of the Waterlink Way, which starts at Deptford Creek and runs south to the coast at Eastbourne. The park is one of the main centres for outdoor sports in the borough, offering facilities for athletics, bowls, football and tennis. A new multi-sports ball court is also available. The park boasts a recently installed children's playground. The athletics track, the Ladywell Arena, was refurbished with National Lottery money in 1997 and is now the home to Kent AC and is managed by Parkwood Leisure.
