History

St Saviour's Church remains in the centre of park, surrounded by a single row of self-build housing.[2] The park is named in honour of Prebendary Philip M. Bartlett, who died in 1958 and had been vicar of the Church for 39 years.[3] St. Saviour's was almost destroyed by fire on 25 May 2007, but the shell remains since it is a Grade II listed building.[4]

The park is host to a football club called Senrab F.C. who train here.

Tower Hamlets Council undertook a public consultation on regeneration of the park in May–June 2012.[5] The masterplan includes improved connections to the Limehouse Cut.[6]

Transport

The London Buses route 309 passes the park.
