Priory Park

About

This 6.5-hectare public park in Hornsey welcomes over 25,000 visitors annually and provides a mix of recreational facilities suitable for families with pets. The grounds include open green spaces for exercise and play, along with amenities such as a café, playground, basketball court, tennis courts, and seasonal paddling pool. The park operates 24 hours daily and maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout its premises. Pet owners will find ample space for dog walking and exercise across the expansive grounds, though they should note that the designated philosopher's garden area restricts dogs to preserve it as a quiet picnic space. The park's heritage features include historical trail boards and a granite fountain from 1909, while practical facilities like toilets and table tennis tables serve daily visitors. Since receiving its first Green Flag Award in 2003, the park has maintained this recognition for environmental standards and management quality, supported by both Haringey Council and the local Friends of Priory Park volunteer group.
