Priory Park

Middle Lane, N8

Green Flag Award Winner since 2003

Priory Park fountain, now used as a planter

Priory Park has been a Green Flag award winner since 2003. The Park is in Hornsey and covers an irregular shaped 6.5 hectares. In addition to the ample green space the park contains a café, paddling pool, tennis courts, playgrounds and a variety of other sporting and recreational facilities. Find out more about the facilities and see for yourself what the park has to offer!

More than 25,000 people visit the park each year, many to enjoy functions in the Pavilion or picnics in the Philosopher’s Garden, which is a dog-free area. The outstanding fountain is used as a large planter. Unveiled in the Pleasure Grounds in 1909, it is made from 50 tonnes of Lamorna granite. The original eastern section of the park preserves much of its 19th and 20th century landscaping with well maintained bedding displays, serpentine walks, perimeter shrub beds, mature silver birches, plane trees and an attractive area of mixed tree planting. The park also has an active ‘Friends’ group.

Green Flag Judges' Comments

A good range of attractions, including café, artworks, play facilities and ornamental grounds are on offer...

The park is well patrolled, with a strong public reassurance programme and has a range of facilities and activities including dog bins and exercise activities.
