As a borough we are fortunate to have many open spaces. As a result, we can put on many outdoor sporting events so you can enjoy green spaces and gardens to watch, or take part in, activities such as cricket, football, tennis, cycling and skateboarding or one of the many smaller events put on regularly by Green Spaces.

We look after six premier parks as well as a number of smaller parks, open spaces, cemeteries, playing fields and children's playgrounds.

In Waltham Forest you can enjoy a number of different facilities. Our 'premier parks'  have children's play areas, attractive landscaping or interesting features such as fountains or displays of bedding plants.
