Down Lane Recreation Ground

Park View Road, N17

Down Lane Recreation Ground is situated between two residential roads – Park View and Ashley Roads – near to Tottenham Hale. It is used regularly by local residents and is a popular cut through to local shops and by commuters travelling to and from Tottenham Hale Station.

The land where the Rec now sits was purchased by the Council in 1900, and was formally known as Lammas land. It was opened on 11 May 1907 by the wife of the then Chairman of the Council, Mrs Garland, and was initially called Down Fields, later having its name changed to Down Lane.

The Recreation Ground now consists of a large green sports field which accommodates two adult sized football pitches, available for booking during the football season.

To the south of the park lies the playground, popular with local children, four tennis courts, a basketball court and the bowling green.

Pay and display parking is available in the car park situated just off Park View Road.

Improvements

Haringey Council has commissioned a landscape architect to formulate a masterplan for Down Lane Recreation Ground. This will be a landscape improvement plan so local people can input on what they would like to see in the park for the future. The consultation will take place over the summer. More information will be added to the website in due course.
