Friends of Lordship Rec – Co-managing the park for the benefit of all park users
Haringey has a variety of Parks and Green Spaces, from ornamental gardens to nature reserves, woodlands and sports pitches. These open spaces provide a huge range of opportunities both for wildlife and for local residents, some of whom have no other access to any sizeable free outdoor space or nature.

If you have read the story of the wartime Downhills Shelter Tragedy (see here) then this is to let you know that Alan and Ray Swain have recently added a number of new features on the Tottenham – Summerhill Road website. These including some fascinating stories from relatives of victims and survivors of the tragedy.
The Lordship Recreation Ground regeneration scheme has been submitted to Haringey Council’s planning department for approval. Getting such an approval is an essential precondition for receiving the funding needed from the Heritage Lottery Fund. All the planned works are included in the application except for the plans for the City Farm (which, due to the current funding shortfall, will be considered after the rest of the works are completed).
If you wish to look through all the key documents (and there are LOTS! – see * below), the application number is HGY/2010/0471, and you can click on the link below:
