Downhills Park is located in the borough of Haringey. The nearest underground station to Downhills Park Road is 'Turnpike Lane Tube' which is about 11 minutes to the West. Buses: 41, 67, 123, 217, 230, 231, 341, 444, W4.
This sizeable park has excellent tree cover, in places forming a woodland structure over dense shrubberies. Native species, including hornbeam (Carpinus betulus), hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and pedunculate oak (Quercus robur), predominate, and there are also some fine specimens of exotic species such as cork oak (Q. suber) and cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), all surviving from the original 19th century planting.
The park supports good populations of common birds, including song thrush and mistle thrush, and the declining spotted flycatcher has bred in recent years.
Downhills Park won a Green Flag Award for 2006/7.
The Friends of Downhills Park were established in 1999: www.downhills.org.uk/
