About

Clissold Park is an open space in Stoke Newington, in the London Borough of Hackney. It is bounded by Greenway Close (to the north), Church Street (south), Green Lanes (west) and Queen Elizabeth's Walk (east); the south-east corner abuts St Mary's Old Church, now an arts venue. The park is 22.57 hectares (55.8 acres) in extent.

The main building within its boundaries is the Grade II listed Clissold House, run as a cafe and events venue. The park's facilities include children's playgrounds, sports fields, a bowling green, a skatepark bowl, tennis courts, and a paddling pool. Other attractions include an aviary with assorted captive species, an enclosure of deer and goats, a butterfly dome, and two small lakes hosting wild ducks, geese, swans and other water birds.

The park also comprises a short section of the New River, and the Capital Ring has some of its paths running through the park. Clissold Park received a Green Flag award in July 2008, and was substantially restored soon afterwards.
