South Norwood Recreation Ground is a public park in South Norwood, in the London Borough of Croydon. Croydon Corporation bought the land in 1889. The borough surveyor estimated it would cost just over £1,300 to lay out the park, with more than a quarter of that for land drainage, showing the site was quite wet.

The park covers about 14 acres (57,000 square metres) or 5.67 hectares. It has a sports area with football pitches, a tennis court and floodlit courts, a bowling green with a pavilion, and a playground. It is open all year and is operated by the London Borough of Croydon.
