“It's a great little park, in particular for those who live in this somewhat closed off corner of Manor Park (boxed in by the A406 and atrocious traffic on Romford Road). The park has quite a few different features (big field, kids play areas, tennis/basketball courts, exercise equipment) but it needs refurbishment as many things have really run down (benches, footpaths, exercise equipment, tennis courts).”
