Old Paradise Gardens (formerly known as Lambeth High Street Recreation Ground, and informally as the Rec) is a 0.76 hectares (1.9 acres) park in Lambeth in the London Borough of Lambeth in London, England, and opened to the public in 1884. Before it became a park, it was a burial ground of St. Mary's Church, Lambeth from 1703 to 1853.
==Burial ground==

By the early 18th century the churchyard of St Mary's, Lambeth was full. In order to provide an alternate burial ground for the parish, Archbishop Tenison acquired a market garden in 1703 for the sum of £120. It was consecrated in 1705. It was extended in 1814, and the extension was consecrated in 1816. A watch house was erected in 1825. The burial ground closed in 1853.
==Public garden==

By 1880 the former burial ground was unsightly, and the Lambeth vestry decided to turn it into a public garden, which opened in 1884. In 1929 the recreation ground was extended with the acquisition of the site of a glass bottle factory in Whitgift Street
