Cottenham Park is a small district of the London Borough of Merton located to the south of Copse Hill, north of Raynes Park, in West Wimbledon, London.[1] It was named after Charles Pepys, 1st Earl of Cottenham.[2]

Cottenham Park is home to a recreation ground with the same name. Its facilities include a cricket ground and several tarmac tennis courts. It was opened in 1897, under the name Melbury Gardens.[2]
