A good city park is judged by its open space, its shade and how easily families and players can reach it. Sports grounds fill quickly on match days, so arriving early or using nearby streets can make parking easier. Some reviewers wish for more play equipment for younger children and a small area for exercise, so families may want to bring a ball or other toys. Regulars often know the quieter corners and the best times for a walk.
Its Highbury Avenue location, near a school and a community centre, makes it a practical green space for families and sports fans in Highbury.
