👍👍 Got stranded in Muswell Hill for 8 hours so I had the opportunity to explore every crevice of this park, and it’s absolutely lovely!! Beautiful foliage and a healthy dose of wildlife. Decently sized, too.

👍👍 A bit of a hidden gem! Parts currently under renovation. You get some annoying and inconsiderate families and runners blazing down the narrow path or having their rugrats spread out and occupy the whole space, but other than that it has some nice wildlife, greenery and flowers growing that you won...

Sunday leagues play football at the southern edge of this huge open area beside the River Lea.

👍👍 Lovely park with several different environments, you have the fields, woods, Japanese garden, lake... Clean and well maintained, surprisingly quiet and lovely for dogs.
