Priory Park is one of the most popular and frequently visited parks in Haringey. It has large open grassy spaces, an ornamental garden, tennis courts, Philosophers' Garden, paddling pool, café, playground, and large asphalt area for basket ball practice and junior cycling. Plus, a Petanque (French Boules) court near the Pavilion.
It has won multiple Green Flag Awards since 2003, and has an active community group, the Friends of Priory Park.
The park contains a small wildlife pond hosting a sculpture called “the drop”, as well as a fountain made from Lamorna stone which was installed in 1909. This originally stood in St Paul's Cathedral churchyard.[2]
