Large field, excellent playground. No barbecues. Multiple tennis courts, football and basketball pitch. Hard-working park keepers and community volunteers. If you get there early a excellent place to photograph wildlife.

Lovely park lots park benches, ideal for dog waking joggers or a stedy stroll. Good for summer picnics, kids play area looks really good. Generally a nice park to relax in you can easily forget your in quite a busy area.

Much loved and actively used, this relatively small but beautiful park seems to have something for everyone, from tennis courts, cafe, multi-purpose courts, children's adventure play area, fitness centre and more. It is actively used by joggers, or a place to relax on the benches or the grass. Many aspiring footballers have dribbled on these blades of grass.

Highbury Fields is a quiet and beautiful green oasis just off the the high street. It’s surrounded by a mixture of well-kept Georgian and Victorian terraced houses. There are ample public tennis courts, football pitches, basketball hoops and two good children's play area. Locals walk their dogs and stroll about with their children through the day making for a homely and peaceful atmosphere.
