It is the largest public park in Tottenham, with great views across to Alexandra Palace. It contains some interesting historic features, such as the Shell Theatre and the world’s first ever model traffic area.

It is also crossed by one of London’s hidden rivers, the Moselle and has a large lake with many birds. There is a playground for young children, a multi-use games area and a skateboard/BMX area. There is also a great outdoor gym for exercising.

The park also boasts a large playing field for casual games. The BMX dirt track along with the model traffic area make the Rec a great place for cycling for all ages. There are a few cycle training organisations for adults and children.
