Wimbledon Park currently officially opens from 8am Monday to Friday and 9am weekends. Sometimes one of the key holders opens the gates earlier, but this is haphazard.

Many people have asked Friends of Wimbledon Park if the gates could be open from 7am every day - to help encourage healthy and environmentally friendly travel by foot and bicycle and to allow residents to exercise themselves and their dogs before starting work.

There have been emails sent to Merton council a number of times, but no agreement so far. This petition started by Friends of Wimbledon Park will help quantify the justification for the request.

Please sign this petition and circulate the link to your local neighbours (e.g. WhatsApp groups and residents association email lists).
