This is an area that really needs cleaning up. I'm referring to the stretch from Turnpike Lane to Wood Green. I hope to see a cleaner and safer London in the future. The streets are full of homeless people, crack addicts, and dangerous individuals asking for money, stealing, and making the area feel far from friendly. There are even homeless people sleeping on benches inside children's playgrounds, and we all know there are hardly any public toilets or adequate sanitary facilities in the area. Sadly, over the last ten years the area has become increasingly run down, despite taxes going up and public services becoming more expensive.

Situated opposite Turnpike lane station. The common offers everything a park would and is a great green place for all to enjoy.

Not a place I would recommend. Which is a shame, on the face of it a lot of money has been spent on facilities. There's a basketball court, exercise machines, children's adventure play ground, a tea /snack hut and its all kept quiet clean and in good condition ( no toilets) but it's littered with substance abusers, dealers and rough sleepers and people openly urinating in full view.

I don't often walk through this park, but during the pandemic it is an escape from home and super markets. The coffee/ sandwich kiosk is cheap and good. There is even an outdoor gym!

Situated in an area where everything is easily accessible. As you enter through the Turnpike Lane gate there's a small cafe where you can buy your refreshments while enjoying yourself in the park or to save money there are plenty of supermarkets and stores on Wood Green High Road. Next to the Ducketts common gate there's one of the entrace/exit to Turnpike Lane Tube station. Opposite side of the park is the Underground plus bus station. The park is massive with plenty of open space to do picnic in the summer days. There is a basketball court for the teens and adults and a playground for the kids. An open gym for those who can't afford to go to the gym. What a fab idea to have this available for free! Haringey council cares about the health of the Haringey residents. Sometimes political and social gathering takes place. Funfair and concerts are also held here. Turnpike Lane Road has Asian stores whereas Wood Green High Road has British supermarkets and stores. Lot of poundshops too. Shopping Mall is 5mins walk from the Ducketts Common.
