This is a lovely open space for a good walk or run (Park Run is super friendly activity here every Saturday morning). It’s a great space to bring little kids as there’s a lake with ducks and turtles, a sweet children’s playground and a mini road layout for kids (and adults) to practise riding their bikes or scooting about. There’s also a nice cafe.
I spend a lot of time in this park. As a local its always pretty vibrant throughout the days and especially the weekends. Apart from the open space, greenery, tree's, lake, there's a lot to do for all ages in this medium sized park and many entrances/exits. Outdoor Exercise area. Outdoor Table Tennis. Outdoor Paddling Pool. Lake. Outdoor playground. Large Outdoor Skate Park. Outdoor Stage. Basketball Courts. BMX Dirt track. Model Traffic Area - with cycle pathway/roads. Football Pitch's. Picnic areas. Toilets. Parkrun events are held on both Saturday (5k Adult) & excellent inclusive Sunday (2k Junior) at 9am and the Hub Cafe is open for diverse activities (Capoeira, Yoga, Dance, Boxing & painting (Of which, the art is often made available for sale within)) The Hub is run by volunteers and has a small hall, breakout rooms and serves warming soups, decent coffee and a variety of cakes and child suitable snacks/drinks, as well as One of the highlights of the year (for me) is the view looking towards Ally Pally for the annual fireworks display, which can be seen with an excellent view from within the parks main entrance. I have always found the people in this park to be friendly and outgoing. You encounter many walkers, dog walkers and runners.
A lovely big rambling park, full of wildlife, fields and small woodlands. It's a beautiful place to spend a morning walking. There is a cafe, community centres and garden project all close by.
First time visitor today and I have to say that Lordship Recreation Ground is far more attractive and varied than I would have guessed. It's open and spacious with a lake and a stream running through it. There's a BMX track and a simulated road layout, with junctions, for kids learning to ride their bike. You've also got a little forest, exercise equipment and a central community centre with a rather nice café. Sure parts of the park are a touch bleak and waterlogged but I can imagine that the space is well used in the summer. It was all a lot nicer than I expected and steadily improved as I walked along its many paths.
It's a lovely park! It has beautiful trees, a nice bird sanctuary, a big play area for children, a cafe, and even a traffic simulation area for children to learn about driving. There's also skateboard park and a mini forest area for everyone to enjoy. Every weekend, there are also a park run for adult on Sat and for children on Sun.
