Description
One of Hackney's best loved traditional parks, with a rich history,
this former country estate was first opened to the public in 1889.
Since 2007, Clissold Park has held a Green Flag award. The Green Flag
Award Scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the
country. Hackney currently has thirteen Green Flags - one of the highest
totals in London.
