Chestnuts Park
St Ann's Road, N15
Green Flag Award Winner since 2008
Award winning Chestnuts Park has a distinctive avenue of plane trees marking out the western, southern and northern boundaries. An open playing field covers the majority of the western side of the Park with the café and picnic terrace overlooking the playground for various ages, to the south.
The eastern half of the park contains a new outdoor gym, tennis courts, a basketball area, and a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).
The Chestnuts community centre, which is managed by the Bridge Renewal Trust, is located in the south-east corner near St Ann’s Road.
Following a programme of improvements to the park that were completed by the council in partnership with the New Deal for Communities (NDC) in 2008, the park won its first Green Flag which has been retained ever since.
During the autumn of 2008, a consultation was carried out to find out how local people would like to see Chestnuts Park improved further and a masterplan was developed. Over time elements of the masterplan have been delivered but new ideas have emerged including, more recently, proposals to create a wetland area in the park.
More details about the facilities and management of the park, and plans for the future, can be found in the latest park management plan or see our A-Z of Parks.
