The best in the country when it won a Green Flag
Works took place to improve Russell Park in the summer of 2009. The focus of the work was on the eastern seating area which had become very overgrown. Local people were reluctant to use this area because the walls, large shrubs and mounds were creating a visual barrier and further contributing to feelings of being unsafe for park users. Haringey committed £250,000 from its own capital resources to enable the project to go ahead.
