Millfields Park
Toilets closed
Unfortunately, the contractors working on the Millfields toilet block refurbishment were unable to maintain the Government required distance of 2m between their operatives due to the restricted space available in and around the toilet block.
To ensure the welfare of their staff and members of the public during the coronavirus pandemic, they have decided to close the site until it is safe for them to work again.
The toilet block will remain closed until further notice. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Millfields Park is made up of three large open spaces around Lea Bridge and Chatsworth Road framed by avenues of mature plane and elm trees. The Lea Navigation borders the park and links it to Springfield Park to the north and Hackney Marshes to the south.

Improvements programme
We’ve invested around £700,000 in Millfields Park. We’ve improved the pathways, walls and sport surfaces, renewed the play area, removed railings, remodelled the entrances, and are replacing the park furniture, upgrading the toilets and working to maintain the trees.
Outdoor childcare sessions with Free Range Urban Kids
Free Range Urban Kids are an Ofsted registered forest school who offer a forest kindergarten for children aged 3 to 7 years, from 9.15am to 3.15pm Monday to Friday during term time. They also offer holiday clubs for 5 to 8 year olds, after school clubs for 5 to 8 year olds and a stay and play for parents / carers and toddlers from 2 to 3 years old.
Children can hunt for bugs, climb trees, build dens, follow nature trails and explore the flora and fauna of South Millfields Park and the neighbouring natural areas.
