Shoreditch Park — Attraction in London

Shoreditch 'park' - keeps getting chopped and chopped... Which is a shame (and strange) as it is home to 100s and 100s of crows, 10s of dogs, and many green-space and fresh-air lovers. It started getting chopped during the first (COVID) lockdown, and then again and again - most recent chopping was in Jan 2025; --Hackney Council leaders must get such a good feeling from chopping green space; ruining homes of wild life, running playground area of dogs...

Many more dogs used to play there - now less and less. So many people used to run there, now rarely do you see any. *Why? Because following the park 'development' one cannot run for longer than 100 yards without risking of being run over by a bike. A significant part is chopped. And there is a lot of construction noise.

Hoot…I suppose that is the point of using a map. What a bell. I mean, you’re welcome to the place. It’s not mine. Assume it’s all ours. Probably owned by a baron who lives his weekends on Canvey Island looking over his Ford Fiesta collection. Hope there is bird song in...

I've been using Shoreditch park for about 50 years, it's been thru some changes in its layout , some of which are more useful than others and it now has a great big rusty steel button sculpture where once we played soccer, but it's a great park , in all weather's it's great in London to sit out and take in some light and air , great playpark for kids and space for everybody, once a year they have an annoying loud music festival and twice a year funfairs that charge a lot for rides.
