A beautiful open space with canal and river. Great sport area or as we did great for a run

I've been going here for years, and it never seems to get boring.

Very green, bunch of football pitches and a nice view of Canary Wharf.

Nice open space....attended a one day cricket tournament, the park space is big enough-if concerns groups can maintain social distancing.

Such a beautiful place to immerse in nature, stunning interplay between organised planting, landscaping and space for self seeding, while water flows through this place, and we walk, play, sit, gaze. Extra- ordinary to believe how this was back in the 1980's, and what a transformation has happened

Great place to go for a lovely walk and feel the nature. The river Lea is polluted and not suitable for swimming. However I thoroughly loved enjoyed sitting close to the river and enjoy the calm serene nature. This is going to be my regular. You can find a lot of black berries while you stroll around.

Brilliant open space full of football pitches. A short walk from the wetlands and Olympic park. Part of the Lea valley park which allows the intrepid pedestrian to exit London without crossing a single road.

A lovely place for a good long walk offering a variety of surroundings. Open grassy areas, wooded areas with paths, canal sides, connected to Lee Valley Ice Rink (under construction) and Horse Riding Centre.... paths leading to Leyton, Walthamstow, Stamford Hill/Upper Clapton. If you are lucky you may even stumble across parrots/exotic birds in the trees....

The perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of London - you wouldn't believe you were still in the capital. Lots of places to play sport & beautiful nature, water and wildlife with that untouched vibe if you venture slightly off the beaten track. Probably one favourite places to get a bit of headspace. Walking distance from the Olympic Park :)

Located aside and between the River Lee and the Navigation channel. Incorporating sports fields, natural riverside habitats and grass/wildflower fields. Pleasant area for a stroll with well-worn pathways through the fields that come alive with a show of wild flowers in Spring and Summer.

Amazing place for activity or just simple relax woth friends or alone.

Lots of outdoor football pitches that can be hired out, the pitches are well maintained. The complex has good changing facilities, cafe and bar. There's a car park with good access to the centre and pitches. As this is spread over a very large area check the map inside to see where you're playing as there nit easily marked and you could be in for a long walk!

Great place to walk and appreciate nature, architecture, people watching and sport.

Love it here on a hot day

Stunning! All kinds of wildlife and plant life. A big space for all to share and be happy

Wonderful place for running,cycling, walking and any other activity and for rest and relaxation too.🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚵‍♀️😌🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Nice cafe near the pitches. Toilets could do with being cleaned a bit more often but still fab venue for grass roots football

Car park shut bummer covid ..but still great place fill yr lungs ...

The oldest and the best. Modern but traditional. The pride of the area

Nice place and maaaaaaaasive layout of football pitches

Great area for a run, walk, okay or just to relax.

What a transformation Loved this place Family friendly Beautiful Gr8 walks

Great place for a weekend getaway.

This place has gone down a lot in the last year sadly. This management can't organise it properly. I have been regularly walking my dog here for 4 years and within the last year the maintenance has really been neglected. The bins are overfilled and the nature walks that used to be maintained are overgrown and full of brambles. Its such a shame as it used to be such a lovely place to walk. ☹☹

Green wide open multi-use space with as much sunlight and pollen as your body wants.. Luv the "hr" between sunrise and dawn especially if there is a morning mist...

A great place for exercising. Also historical, you can see the filter beds that used to filter water for parts of London. You have the Lee River passing by and the canal. You may be lucky to see a wild Muntjac deer, grey herons catching fish and other wild life. You feel like you are in the country. Lots more history. Worth seeing!

Hackney marshes is a vast open area, used for sport and recreation...the football pitches are very well used, especially at weekend s ..there are woods,and cycling paths,and all is near the canal..great

Taken one star off for the not very well maintained toilets.

Really good for walking 🚶‍♂️around with natural looking and very safe for everyone

Nice large open spaces with pathways n canals, a vast and beautiful natural space with enough space to find a private spot

Nice park

This open space is a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively.

Large open space with numerous cricket and football pitches. Toilets in pavilion but along distance from some pitches

Legendary London football pitches here, amateur football at true grass roots level, some games in progress today Main purpose today was to find the River Lea, and walk down the path to Stratford, taking I'm the wildlife on the way !,
