Battersea Park is located in London on the south bank of the River Thames opposite of Chelsea. The park was opened in 1858.

In 1977 Bob Marley played a game of 11-a-side football in Battersea park against a team that included radio presenter Danny Baker. Bob Marley was very much into football and his entourage on one of his tours included Allan 'Skill' Cole, at the time one of Jamaicas top footballers.
