Sport

Greenwich Park offers a range of sports, including cricket and rugby. You can also bring along your frisbee or football for some informal fun.

Informal Sport in the Park
Cycling is allowed on the roads and designated cycle path only. The paths and grass areas are used extensively for walking, jogging and running.

The Rangers' Field at the south end of the park close to the Blackheath Gate has space for two rugby pitches. It also offers users a changing pavilion with two team changing rooms and showers.

In the summer, the Rangers' Field is marked out and maintained for cricket. There is one square with a good size outfield and a synthetic wicket. Teams are also able to hire the pavilion.

Immediately to the north of Rangers' Field is the Greenwich Park Tennis Centre offering 6 hard courts (no lights). Currently, the courts are open from April to September although from next year, it is likely that the courts will be available all year round.

Beside the tennis centre is a putting green. Putters and balls can be hired for use on the putting green at all times the tennis centre is open.
