Apologies – we are having to close the Gatehouse and Ecology Park on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th March 2026 while contractors deliver and construct a scaffold structure in the inner park area for the new bridge project. TCV staff will be on site over those 2 days and a corporate workday will go ahead on Thursday in a different part of the park. We will be back open as usual from Saturday 7th March.
The inner Ecology Park area is usually open on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 5pm. Access is through the Gatehouse – the wooden building situated alongside the Thames Path (between the end of John Harrison Way and Greenwich Yacht Club). Visits are free and there’s no need to book ahead.
Work is progressing on the outer boardwalk and bridge project. Contractors are connecting the outer boardwalk to the inner boardwalk via a new wooden bridge and removing an area of boardwalk at either end of the outer boardwalk. Work is progressing on the installation of a custom made galvanised steel beam for the bridge, which involves a special temporary scaffold structure (hence the need for a short park closure – see above). This project will restore access to the outer boardwalk area but from within the wardened inner park area, so the outer boardwalk will then be accessible during normal park opening hours. This will provide a safer and more secure space for wildlife and for people and help the Ecology Park cope with the rapidly increasing development across the Peninsula.
How to get to Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park

The 422 stops on John Harrison Way and the 188 on Millennium Way. From the Millennium Village Oval Square bus stop, head towards John Harrison Way and walk down the road to the dead end where it meets the river path. Turn right onto the river path and you will see the wooden gatehouse ahead of you.
