Small green space just at the top of Green Lanes in Harringay (could also be considered part of the south bit of Wood Green).
It's basically a trees-and-grass-and-paths open space, no flowerbeds in evidence. Facilities spotted in June 2008 were basketball courts and a ball games area; as of 2012 there's also a children's play area.
A sign at the north entrance asks visitors to refrain from feeding the pigeons, while another warns that the park is in a drinking control area.
The park itself is not spotless (there was an empty Newcastle Brown bottle lying on the ground beside the bench on which Kake wrote the notes for this entry, despite the abovementioned drinking control) but not filthy either. Quite pleasant on a sunny day.
