Explore a Green Flag award-winning park featuring children's play areas, sports facilities, BMX track, and a refreshment kiosk in south-west Hackney.

Haggerston Park is a multi-purpose urban green space spanning two distinct areas developed across different eras. The northern half, developed in the 1950s, was laid out following a nautical theme, while the southern half expanded in the 1980s to include Hackney City Farm. The park has earned a prestigious Green Flag award, recognizing it as one of the best green spaces in the country. Families can enjoy a comprehensive range of facilities and activities throughout the year. The children's play area provides dedicated space for younger visitors, while the park offers sports facilities including an all-weather 3G football pitch, multi-usage games area for tennis, football, basketball and netball, BMX cycle track, athletics track (seasonal), and trim trail with wood multi-gym apparatus. The community orchard and food growing garden next to the BMX track offer opportunities for environmental engagement. The Haggerston Kiosk serves coffee, pastries, cakes, and ice cream for dogs during summer, plus complimentary babycinos for children. The park is dog-friendly (with restrictions in play areas and sports facilities) and pushchair-friendly, welcoming families with children from birth onwards. With accessible toilets, changing rooms, and free entry, the park is designed for inclusive family use and community activities.

Haggerston Park is a peaceful and well-kept green space in the heart of Hackney. It’s perfect for relaxing walks, jogging, or just enjoying some fresh air away from the city noise. The playground is great for kids, and there are plenty of benches and grassy areas to sit and unwind. The park feels safe, friendly, and well-cared-for, with clean paths and open spaces that make it easy to enjoy nature. It’s a lovely spot to meet friends, have a picnic, or just spend time outdoors on a sunny day

This park is located close to Hackney City Farm. I went to visit the farm with my kids, and just around the corner was this relaxing park. It had a very engaging play area, which my kids enjoyed. It also had a nice sports area, with tennis courts, and football pitches. It then opened up to nicely laid lawns where many people were just relaxing, while others were sunbathing. There was also people there having a party and the atmosphere was buzzing. I will visit again as we didn't get to see half of this park.

I love this park. Is part of my morning commute and is an oasis in the middle of the city. In summer, the temperature really comes down here and during winters is slightly mysterious and magical
