The Wind in the Nearby Foliage

Why write this article?

At our recent Community Forum the question of play facilities came up, and it soon became clear that while several people had some idea of what was available, we could not find a coherent, comprehensive list of everything. It was also clear that while we would ideally like a very great many facilities to be provided on the estate, that would simply not be possible. So we are beginning to catalogue some of the nearby opportunities for play.

A themed play area on the New River Walk

The New River Walk meanders around two sides of the triangular Woodberry Down Estate

Hackney describes it as being part of Woodberry Down Park, which is essentially the walkway along the New River.

This small area has carvings of Wind in the Willows characters and other small climbing objects. There is another similar area a few yards further up on the other side.
