FIELDS WE PROTECT

Set in a residential area of Haringey, Green Flag award winning O.R. Tambo Recreation Ground is incredibly popular with both adults and children. Within the vast expanse of the green open space is the popular and much loved Pavilion Cafe. Providing a community focal point often used for meetings and parties, it is also home to Haringey Tennis, an organisation that manages the Park's very popular tennis courts. The Cafe terrace provides the perfect viewing point to watch the regular football, cricket and Aussie Rules football that take place on the playing fields throughout the year. The Rec has many facilities. The brightly coloured playground is a favourite for the younger children and the tennis courts, basketball courts and bowling green keep people of all ages entertained. Originally known as Albert Road Rec the O.R. Tambo Recreation Ground was renamed in 2021 in memory of South African anti-apartheid campaigner, Oliver Reginald Tambo who spent time living in exile in nearby Muswell Hill.
