Highbury Fields

Gorgeous set of parks and surroundings. Perfect for jogging, outdoor workout or for walks with doggos (kids). Lots of park benches around to take a rest and read a book. Lovely views on typical old victorian London houses.

Highbury Fields is a quiet and beautiful green oasis just off the the high street. It’s surrounded by a mixture of well-kept Georgian and Victorian terraced houses.

There are ample public tennis courts, football pitches, basketball hoops and two good children's play area. Locals walk their dogs and stroll about with their children through the day making for a homely and peaceful atmosphere.

Very lucky to have this as my local park. It is a great place for a run or to walk the dog and meet other dogs/owners. Great to sit down for a picnic with friends or family too.

The play area was fun with equipment for different ages, sandpit and adventure area with zip swing and climbing frames, pretty cool tbh.

Other kids and adults were pleasant 🎉

The grass area was ok, quite a few dogs with pleasant owners.

There was lots of clean benches dotted around.

Beautiful trees and view of the sky, its nice space for a breather.

We enjoyed it and was clean, would go again.

Someone told me about the kids park, and although I'm not that close to it, me and the kids went there for the day, and they loved it👌 great sandpit and a really big slide. It as toilets and when we was there it also had an onsite office with park staff on hand. A little gem

Good grounds for practice. Has grass and hard surfaces. 10 minute walk from The Emirates. I had a good day and the kids had a good practice.

A lovely open space with lots of greenery and plenty of seating. A relaxing area only a short distance removed from the busy High Street

Much loved and actively used, this relatively small but beautiful park seems to have something for everyone, from tennis courts, cafe, multi-purpose courts, children's adventure play area, fitness centre and more. It is actively used by joggers, or a place to relax on the benches or the grass.

It is always pleasantly, pleasing. While saying this, it has an satisfaction that is appreciated much seen on those that I see there. One that also much appreciated by the animals, as well as those whom I have seen passing, and as those who are corroborated by physical fitness. And as to add futher, it has its own account for seasonal satisfactions.

Great open space. Kids love it as they can run around freely. There is dedicated space for bbq's. They are planning on closing one of the roads which will make the space nicer and connect all three fields.

Adventure playground alongside for kids to enjoy as well as a leisure centre with swimming pool. Further up you have tennis courts and a football/basketball court.

We usually go swimming and then spend time in the park.

Good location. Closest tube Highbury and Islington underground and plenty of buses.

No free parking except on weekends and evenings.

Today is such a lovely day for a walk in one of my local park, it's quite spacious to social distance, smthought today the park Cafe is closed☹, it's usually open, I was looking forward to a lovely coffee and 🍰

Extremely busy due to lockdown ease... its a lovely place for a run. Just be mindful of some people avoiding social distancing rules!

Not a very large but a pretty Islington park, surrounded by a mixture of impressive Georgian terraced houses and Victorian villas. Has public tennis courts, football pitches and a very good children's play area.

A lovely Park with houses around it dating to 1789. Swimming Pool and wonderful kids outdoor play area; one of the best in England.

Nice parkrun course.... Five laps so you can practice and bit of gentle downhill then uphill running.

Love this place just across the road from Highbury and Islington Station. Puppy central when I was there earlier. Lovely place to chill after a long day

Beautiful small park with plenty of grassed areas to sit and relax, go for a run or have a BBQ

I like it very much. Is a clean park and you find easily trashes bins. If there will be more benches would be great, but people seemed to enjoy even laying on the green fields (even in autumn time 🍁🍂🍃). Is allowed to walk pets but only on large areas, not on playground area. Is a perfect place to escape from 'real world' and to have a bit of fresh air for the brain. When you enter in the park it gaves you the sensation you are in another world -- I mean haveing the feeling that is a great place to be in.

Love walking through Highbury Fields to get to Upper Street or Holloway Road. Especially on a warm sunny day. Lots of people are sunbathing, picnicking or having a barbecue. And there are 2 places to buy coffee or snacks. Lovely. Parks make living in a stressful city so much more bearable...
