LORDSHIP REC: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
The grand opening of Lordship Recreation Ground was in 1936, and for nearly 60 years it served the residents of Tottenham very well. The unique Model Traffic Area, where thousands of local children have learned to ride bikes, received national publicity when it opened in July 1938. The Shell theatre was in regular use for tea dances, concerts and children’s fancy dress shows from the 1940s. Boating was a popular pastime on the lake. Unfortunately, despite some efforts, the park was gradually allowed to fall into decline in the 1980s-1990s with run-down facilities, disused buildings, and a lack of maintenance and on-site staffing.
Over the last 10 years, the Friends of Lordship Rec, the local Back 2 Earth environmental charity, the Broadwater Farm Community Centre and Haringey Council’s Leisure Services have worked hard together to stop the decline of the Rec. Following the setting up of the community-led Lordship Rec Users Forum some initial improvements were made, new user groups formed, annual community festivals were organised, and together we developed a vision for the park's regeneration. We eventually secured a £4m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to carry out major renovation works in 2011-12. We can now celebrate a stunning new course for the River Moselle with 3 new bridges, a new open orchard and wildlife-friendly areas, a state-of-the-art bike track, exciting play facilities, attractive landscaping and meadows, improved pathways, plus an innovative ‘eco’ building with cafe, public toilets, community room and classroom. Don't just take our word for it - come and see for yourself!
We will continue to work in partnership to help manage the Rec and its facilities, and ensure the park thrives for future generations to enjoy...
