Russell Park

Westbury Avenue, N22
Previously known as Noel Park

Improvement works

First phase

Works took place to improve Russell Park in the summer of 2009. The focus of the work was on the eastern seating area which had become very overgrown. Local people were reluctant to use this area because the walls, large shrubs and mounds were creating a visual barrier and further contributing to feelings of being unsafe for park users. Haringey committed £250,000 from its own capital resources to enable the project to go ahead.

The vast majority of the mounds were removed, along with several trees and all the brickwork to create a welcoming open area that is now very popular with local residents. The new seating are contains benches and high quality planting which attracts visitors looking for a quiet place in the park to sit and enjoy the pleasant surroundings.

Second phase

Following on from this successful work, Recreation Services will be carrying out a second phase of works to commence in the park in early 2010. These works will be concentrated on the Russell Avenue entrance through the creation of a new entrance feature and a family dog-free picnic space.

Planting will also be improved throughout the park which will hopefully lead to us securing a Green Flag award for the park in 2010. Recreation Services are working in partnership with Groundwork who secured money for the scheme through working with the Friends of Russell Park. £75,000 has been raised for the park for this phase of works and they will be complete in March 2010.

The plans can be found in the attached files section below.
