I am a local resident and walk there frequently. You can imagine yourself miles from a city in this green area, as even though the railway lines are on two sides, they are hidden by the trees. The only building that’s visible is Ducane Court.
Thanks to all who support Precious Tooting’s efforts to keep this a place for ALL to enjoy.

The Wandsworth spokesman needs to get down there and have a look. I am there often and have walked in the area for over 10 years - there is only one all-weather pitch, he seems to think there are more; he is also under the illusion that it is not a grassed area? To which area is he refering? The playground? The all-weather pitch?
On Monday evening this week I was there with my family. Between the four of us we flew a kite, walked the dog and played frisbee, and were free to do as we pleased.
Others on that same area of the common were enjoying picnics, playing team frisbee, walking and enjoying the freedom that that space allows.
It must not be lost.

Yep! She’s a star! This is fantastic news - a high profile actor and a new film THE WAITING ROOM featuring the Tooting Triangle. Who could have seen that one coming - congrats to you Precious People for all your hard work. I’m still with you!
