Editing Woolwich (section)

== Nature ==
Parks in central Woolwich are generally small. St Mary's Gardens has been laid out as a park in Romantic style on the grounds of the former churchyard of the [[St Mary Magdalen Woolwich|parish church of St Mary Magdalen]]. Some historic grave markers have been placed against the peripheral wall. [[Tom Cribb]]'s memorial, a lion rests its paw on an urn, stands near the northeast entrance. The park features a [[Belvedere (structure)|belvedere]] which offers views of the river Thames. At the Royal Arsenal, several new parks and gardens have been landscaped but some can only be accessed by residents.

Shrewsbury Park, [[Plumstead Common]], [[Woolwich Common]] and [[Oxleas Wood]] are situated higher up the hill and are all part of the [[South East London Green Chain]]. Repository Woods is a forested part of Woolwich Common. The area around the lake is a military training ground that is not open to the public. The same applies to Mulgrave Pond and Shooters Hill golf course.
