Background
History
The area was laid out in 1890 on land from the estate of English politician John Temple Leader by Putney Parish and Leader Estate surveyor J C Radford. It was opened in 1903.
Description
The gate at the Putney Embankment entrance is the original from 1903 and is made of cast iron, as are the railings surrounding the park, which have ornamental ball finials topped with tall spikes. The Putney Sculpture Trail by sculpturer Alan Thornhill begins in the park. Exodus is in the centre of the park and was installed in 2008.
