Twenty-two students created layers of fiction and actuality. Seen above from the left: one of the mysterious legendary polar bears said to frequent the park; Sir David Attenborough creeping among the rhododendrons in search of a new species of tropical bird unique to Cannizaro (a concept by Dominic Letschka and Christopher Mayer which included six different figures of the naturalist exploring the park's ecosystem); Glynn Griffiths' rotating wheel entitled "In the end is the beginning"; and Camilla Douglas' "Offerings to the Tree Spirit".

Some works intervened directly with the fabric of the park: a steel frame mimicking the gradient of the land and creating an "upper floor"; the Italian Garden's new wall and open door hung with bright colours; Fiona Long's "Umbrella Den" set amid the three trees on the main lawn; Ruth Taylor's "Cannizaro Bird"; an inflatable life raft inexplicably moored in the middle of the pond; a picnic blanket whose changing position was marked out using a GPS Tracker.

The artworks were selected by guest curator Sarah Davies and Wimbledon College alumni Helen Sturgess and Jess Fuller. Sarah Davies herself exhibited in earlier Wimbledon School of Art exhibitions at Cannizaro Park in 1998, 1999 and 2000. She said: "PARK 09 allowed students to create works outside of the protective walls of the college specifically for the landscape of this enchanting heritage park. The outdoor exhibition aimed to widen participation in the arts and, as in previous years, local schools were invited to meet the artists and participate in creative activities, promoting an increased knowledge and understanding of contemporary art practice."
