Greenwich Park New Year’s Day Plan Blown Off Course

Visitors hoping to kick off 2024 with a fresh New Year’s stroll in Greenwich Park face a major setback. The park will stay shut on January 1 after a yellow weather warning for severe wind gusts forced a last-minute closure.

Safety First: No Risk Taken

Park bosses aren’t taking any chances. All areas – including cafes, kiosks, park roads, and cycleways – will remain locked until thorough safety inspections give the green light. High winds could bring down branches or cause hazards, so waiting it out is essential.

What Greenwich Park Says

A spokesperson stressed the priority is keeping visitors safe: “We’re sorry for any inconvenience. Visitor safety is our top priority, and the park will reopen as soon as it is deemed safe.”
