Great place to rest away from the crowds. It's a bit noisy because of the road outside but still much quieter than Stoke Newington road.

Have come here a few times as it's close to my house. A quiet and relaxing space to chill. Popular with dog walkers. Plenty of benches and a large are for kids to run around.

Love that place despite dogs not on leash. It is great use of space but would be good to have some swings for the kids - currently only a slide and some spinning tyres.

This is a beautiful little park in Stoke Newington. There's a Magic Energy in Here. That's why we go there very often and do our exercises and classes of fitness. A must go, for meditation, a reading, or just to enjoy a small hidden green space. My Fav
