Bishops Park

Bishops Park is a park in Fulham, West London. The park was opened by the London County Council in 1893, on land given by the Church Commissioners. It is listed Grade II on the register of parks and gardens of special historic interest maintained by English Heritage. The park runs north of the River

Thames from All Saints church along a broad tree-lined avenue of London Plane trees and an embankment path along the river, and ends at Bishop's Park Road. It contains tennis courts and bowling greens, with another small park area fronting Fulham Palace Road which is known as the Moat Garden. It is adjacent to Fulham Palace and Fulham Football club. A memorial to members of the International Brigade who volunteered to fight in the Spanish Civil War has been located within the park since 1997. The park has a poolside beach and facilities for basketball, tennis, table tennis, lawn bowling and skate boarding.
