Walk, Talk, and Coffee: Explore Haringey’s Three Parks this December!
December 7, 2025 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

About this event
The route takes us through the three different Parks that run through the east of the borough. We meet at Chestnuts Community Centre at 11.30, and stroll through the paths there, before crossing West Green Road and entering the larger Downhill’s Park with its lawns and flowerbeds and leisure facilities. Then we cross into the even larger (48 acre) sprawling Lordship Park and take a turn through its Woodland Walk, rounding its lake, wildlife and extensive sports facilities, and taking the path north to Lordship Lane, before doubling back to Chestnuts. The route highlights include:
- Chestnuts Park: Flat open space, café, starting location.
- Downhills Park: Landscaped gardens, woodland paths, spots to pause
- Lordship Rec: Large park, woodland walk, lake, wildlife, slight incline for return, sports facilities.
- Coffee Stop: Café in Lordship Park; benches available throughout.
