    This is my local park, it's a good spot. Park is well-maintained, clean and tidy, plenty of paths cut through the patches of long grass. Loads of facilities, including goal posts, basketball courts, children's playgrounds etc. Plenty of benches. The park feels bigger than it appears on maps. Have been for many walks around it.

    Nice little park located in the quiet neighbourhood. Good for strolling in the park at weekend. There is a play park and toilets available and Basketball courts. Parking are free after 6:30pm and whole day on Sundays.

    Lovely park with big open spaces and many benches. There are toilets available on site which were in a good condition too. It was clearly a dog friendly park. There was a playground too, for the younger ones.

    Hackney downs is a great small park to go to for some outdoor activity, other than the neat pathways to run on, it includes multiple facilities such as basketball courts, a football cage and pitch, tennis courts and a big kids play area. Public toilets and fountains are found within the park and there are many local businesses such as cafes nearby.

    The park itself is nice, the people using the toilets to take crack or heroine... Less. Keep your addiction at home, I spent 30 minutes in the park taking sun in front of the toilettes and i have seen 2...... If i did sure the police knows.... But they do noooooothing

    So if you want a park never too crowded, it's the good one. It's getting improved by new species of trees which is needed because so far its mostly a big flat square of grass with sport facilities and plane trees for a change (but those ones are impressively huge tbh so have a look). I love this place anyway, and it's getting nicer everyday.

    Lots of wide open space. Great for people watching and big enough to feel you are away from it all. Very good cafes to and from it. A nice thing to do is cut through Clapton pond and then on down to Masefield park and then on to the Lea Valley park .

    I just love Hackney ❤️ I was pleasantly surprised by the toilet facilities in the park..they were working, modern, had toilet paper, you could wash and dry your hands, clean-ish but to be fair it was after 5pm on a Saturday when I used them. Come on Hackney...this is one of the reasons I love you so 😍 #easilypleased

    Nice park with plenty of areas to enjoy a walk, a run, a picnic or any other activity for that matter, as there are basketball courts, tennis courts and a children play area. Loads of benches are available around and a very decent toilet facility as well.

    Is an ordinary park the beauty is on the coexistence of many different people and activities. There is a playground for kids, basketball and tennis pitch, also at different time there are large groups playing football, ultimate frisbee, rugby, volleyball and cricket. Around all of this activity many people met with their dog, I think there are training class as well but I'm not sure. There are public toilets and a pub just outside the park.

    Best enjoyed in the daytime. Both the grass and the trees are generally green in colour and there are benches made of metal and wood. Overall fulfilling my expectations of what a park should be.

    Work here as a dog trainer. Despite the one large group of doggy daycare people with insane amount of unruly dogs, this park is one of my favorite to work in! It's also tidy and calm and quiet, lots of things around for dogs and very dog friendly.

    Had a great day out joining Wassail group as we annointed the small cherry and apple trees scattered around. Lovely day, and really appreciated how pretty this area of London can be.

  • 3/5 Tracey C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great in the the summer, lots going on, everybody friendly, just enjoying the sunshine, having picnic and pub close by that allows you to take away 😀

    Please could you guys put paths for Cycling Lanes and a path for people to walk on cos on day there will be an accident and you guys could get blames for not having the right routes for cycling's and people to walk on. Sort out putting wooden poles instead of using metal. Using wooden poles could makes the park look more neatly tidy.

  • 5/5 Clarissa C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely open park, went on a warm day and it was not overcrowded. The playground is more for older children but under 2s still can have fun in the sand pit, on the baby slide and baby swings. I enjoyed this park

  • 5/5 Ludacris F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park but make sure you pack for picnics and drinks because local shops are 10 mimutes walk and toilet facilities are free but but can be busy during peak periods, only 3 toilets for whole park located near the community centre. Great tennis facilities with highly maintained courts.

  • 4/5 Catherine P. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice open park for a walk. Somewhat muddy along edges of paths due to all the rain, but still pleasant to walk round and enjoy the trees. Paths are shared with cyclists, so you have to be aware of that, if like me you can't hear them approaching from behind, but generally they seem to be aware of pedestrians.

  • 4/5 Abdul K. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice big park, lots of greenery. Nice play area for kids, could do with more playimg equipmen, have a basketball area too.

  • 1/5 Eurico I. 3 years ago on Google
    It WAS a good park. Now there is always big party groups with laud speakers and bbq. I mean they bring electric generators to power the speakers. At anytime during the weekend there is at least 3 laud speakers. The council doesn't give a toss and some park rangers participate in the parties. Good to buy weed behind the kids playground too. Rant over

  • 4/5 Niall C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great open space for exercise and relaxing. Nice play park for young children.
