Green Flag Bruce Castle Park
Lordship Lane, N17

Located in Tottenham, Bruce Castle Park covers eight hectares of parkland and is rich in history dating back to the early 11th century.

Winner of the coveted Green Flag award since 2003, the park was created from the remains of the ancient Bruce Castle family estate, purchased by the Council in 1892. Bruce Castle Museum, a Grade 1 listed 16th century manor house, now houses the borough’s local history collections and archives and has been open since 1927.

The park offers a variety of facilities for all ages including the children’s paddling pool which is a favourite throughout the summer months; and sporting facilities like the multi-use games area and tennis courts. The Holocaust Memorial Garden offers an area for quiet contemplation. The 16th century historic building of Bruce Castle Museum lies in the west of the park; housing an interesting collection of Haringey’s local history and archives. The Park plays host to a variety of activities including the Tottenham Community Festival and Carnival, a multi-cultural event for all the family, every June. A number of smaller events are also held throughout the year aimed at all ages and communities.
