Bordering the River Quaggy between Sutcliffe Park, Lee Green, and Blackheath, lie a number of playing fields and green spaces. Together they form a vital green 'lung' for the area.

The Friends of Quaggy Playing Fields aim to ensure that these open spaces remain green areas for the benefit of the communities of south east London for physical activity, and relaxation whilst at all times putting nature at the forefront of any decision or action.
