"Woolwich Park is now known as Royal Arsenal Gardens. This riverside park successfully combines a number of diverse features into a relatively small space, these include a well used skate/skateboard park, sculpture on both an ecological and historical theme, an ecologically important wildflower meadow planted on artificial banks around a central area of short mown amenity grassland(in an area of deficiency in natural green space), and ample hard landscaping for community festivals. Perhaps of most importance however is the parks location beside the Thames something extremely rare in London where residential development usually takes precedent over public realm."

Unless you are off on your trip tomorrow, unless Seasalt knows where the statue is, it might be an idea to contact the tourist board of Greenwich.

EDIT - that last sentence is a bit garbled!
Lets's hope Seasalt can pin it down.

Failing that, delay your visit until you have had the chance to talk to Greenwich tourist office/board.

If you are making the most of the dry weather tomorrow, at least if will be good for a stroll along the river ;-)

Hi Seasalt

Google search shows Woolwich Park to be "on the waterfront east of the ferry terminal in Woolwich"

I guess an alternative could be Woolwich Common !!

Woolwich is in the London Borough of Greenwich, which is one of the greenest Boroughs in London.
As far as I am aware there is nowhere called Woolwich Park, I lived in the area for many years, Do you have any more information?

I am about to go to Woolwich to try to find a monument to the Fead Family, with a view to getting some photgraphs..
I am lead to believe the monument is in Woolwich Park.
Does anyone have a an actual location for this monumernt?
The first mentioned person is Lt General George Fead, who died 20 Nov 1815.

Thanks
Stuart
