Chess in the park

Ruskin Park now has two outdoor chess tables and chairs. Find them near the green shelter in the centre of the park.

The tables were installed by Lambeth Council, with funding from government to boost the game’s accessibility by placing tables within public parks.

We would like to support local chess enthusiasts to use the tables, as well as encouraging younger players or anyone with accessibility issues. We will be purchasing some chess pieces to be available to borrow from the kiosk.

If you can help make chess a success in the park, please email info@friendsofruskinpark.org.uk with your ideas.
