As part of a volunteering scheme organised by BTCV, I came across Lordship Recreation Ground - the Rec, is a district park in Tottenham, in the Borough of Haringey, North London.
It is the largest green space in Tottenham which takes in great views across Alexandra Palace. Interesting historic features, such as the Shell Theatre and the Model Traffic Area.
It is also crossed by one of London's hidden rivers, the Moselle and has a large lake with many birds. BTCV carry out a lot of work to help maintain a conservation area within the park and help ensure the area is kept tidy, welcoming and accessible to enable people to enjoy the space on a regular basis.
There's a playground for young children, a multi-use games area, an adventure play area and a state of the art skateboard/BMX area. There is also a large field for other games. There is a long bmx track which, along with the Model Traffic Area, makes the Rec a great place for cycling.
Another beautiful, peaceful open space in London perfect for exploring! read more
