Russia Dock Woodland - 2009 Award winner: Russia Dock Woodland and Stave Hill ecological park run through the middle of the Rotherhithe peninsula. Originally a dock used for importing timber from Norway, Russia and Sweden, in 1980 it was in-filled and planted as native grass areas for recreational activities, and a series of water channels and ponds providing habitats for kingfishers and herons. In 1985 the LDDC added an artificial hill, Stave Hill, to the west edge of the park, using waste material and rubble. Quadron works closely with the very active Friends of Group to manage the area in accordance with their wishes and to promote its ecological importance and biodiversity value.

Paterson Park - 2009 Award winner: Paterson Park is built on land that was once railway sidings bombed in World War II. In 2007 improvements were made to create a well designed open space to meet the needs of the local community. New facilities include a children's play area, allotments and a multiuse games area.
