About Hornfair Park
Hornfair Park is a big, busy park on the Charlton side of Shooters Hill, with formal gardens, tree-lined paths and lots of open grass. It's best known as the home of Charlton Lido and Lifestyle Club, run by Better, with heated outdoor pools, a gym, floodlit tennis courts and a café.
There's plenty more to keep everyone busy: a BMX track, football pitches with changing rooms for hire, basketball and a multi-use games area, and a children's playground for all ages, with a paddling pool that opens in the school summer holidays. A junior parkrun is held here too.
Next to the park, by the footbridge on Shooters Hill Road, is an old pet cemetery and memorial garden.
