Green Flag Award Chapmans Green
602-594 Lordship Lane
London
N22 5LL

References to the Green Flag award-winning Chapmans Green date back as far as 1619 when it was originally a common. It was given Park status in the early 1900s and little has changed since. Its charming nineteenth century, formal layout gives Chapmans Green an air of eloquence and style of yesteryear that is rarely seen today.

Throughout the cold, grey winter months, park users are enticed into the Park by the colourful formal winter bedding displays situated to the front and back of the Park Pavilion. These prize winning beds are also renowned for their blooms during the summer months.

The bowling green, together with the pavilion, is leased to the Noel Park Bowling Club, and is thought to be nearly 100 years old. It is thought to be the biggest and most used in the borough. The bowling green is open to the general public to use, and the Club often hold open days to attract new members and increase awareness of the sport.

The two full sized tennis courts within Chapmans Green are very popular with the local community. The lines are regularly painted and new nets have been recently added. A tennis development programme is in place covering the whole of Haringey, which utilises the tennis courts in parks throughout the borough. Free tennis coaching is provided on the courts in Chapmans Green through the summer months.

Originally a walled garden of a large private house, Manchester Gardens located on Seven Sisters Road between Manchester and Heysham Roads was bequeathed to the local community for use as a public garden.

Manchester Gardens now provides a pleasant open space for use by the community and a welcoming retreat in a part of the local area, which is heavily congested with traffic, noise and vehicle fumes.

Green Flag Award Parkland Walk Local Nature Reserve

Entrances within N4: Finsbury Park, Oxford Rd, Florence Rd, Lancaster Rd, Stapleton Hall Rd, Blythwood Rd
Entrances within N6 and N8: Crouch End Hill, Crescent Rd, Holmesdale Rd
Entrances within N10: Cranley Gds, Muswell Hill Rd underpass, St James' Lane, Muswell Hill Rd

The Parkland Walk follows the course of the old railway that ran between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace. The four and a half miles provides tranquillity and a chance for those living in London, to enjoy the green environment in the very heart of the city.

It is London's longest Local Nature Reserve and supports a remarkable range of habitats and wildlife. Over two hundred species of wild flower have been recorded and it is probably the only place in Haringey where orchids rub shoulders with dandelions and ivy clambers up fig trees.

Hedgehogs, foxes, butterflies and a vast array of birds are spotted on a daily basis and a rare species of deer, the muntjac, is spotted from time to time.

A man sized green spriggan sculpture by Marilyn Collins was placed in one of the alcoves of the wall on the right at the footbridge before the former Crouch End station. The sculpture, and Parkland Walk generally, provided the inspiration for Stephen King's short story "Crouch End".

Green Flag Award Railway Fields Local Nature Reserve
381 Green Lanes
Harringay
London
N4 1ES

Located just off the busy and bustling road of Green Lanes, behind magnificent iron gates lies one of Haringey's most hidden and wonderful treasures. The two-acre Green Flag award site of Railway Fields is one of three Local Nature Reserves in Haringey. In the 1950s the site was used as a railway goods yard and even today coal can still be found on site.

The council acquired the land in the early 1980s and in 1986 turned the site into a wildlife haven and environmental teaching centre for local schools. In 1990 Railway Fields was officially declared a statutory Local Nature Reserve.

There is a well-designed Swiss chalet style wooden building that is capable of housing up to thirty children at one time, as well as a variety of different animals. There is a range of different habitats including woodland, scrub, meadow, a pond and two areas of marshland. Swings, slides and a climbing frame are all present on site, so learning about wildlife can be combined with play activities.

Railway Fields is renowned for its flora. Over 200 species of wild flowers have been recorded and they include the unique Haringey Knotweed discovered in 1987, a remarkable cross between the Japanese Knotweed and the Russian Vine. Twenty-one kinds of butterfly have been recorded over the last few years and more than sixty species of birds have been observed since Railway Fields first opened.

Habitats change throughout the year, so whatever time of year you visit, there is always something of interest and new to see.

Green Flag Award Woodside Park
294 High Rd
Wood Green
London
N22 8YX

Woodside Park was first laid out around the turn of the century and by 1914 boasted a bandstand and bowling green. Sadly the bandstand disappeared many years ago, but the park still plays host to an active bowling club and popular play ground.

Two of Haringey's historic buildings are located within the park. Woodside House, formally Wood Green Town Hall, is now used as council offices and the Grade II listed Mushroom House was formerly the lodge to the local manor house Chitts Hill (demolished in the 1890s).

The park plays host to the annual Friends Jazz Picnic and Folk Dance in the hollow behind the Mushroom House and is proving to be an increasingly popular summer fixture for local residents.
