Tottenham Hale: placemaking together

Tottenham Hale has been a place in transition for a number of years. The ambition is for Tottenham Hale to be a place to live well, engage in good work and access a range of leisure facilities, set within an active green neighbourhood where health and wellbeing are prioritised.

Now approaching 10 years since the vision for Tottenham Hale was drafted a number of major-scale projects have completed or are in delivery, including 3,200 new sustainable homes with over 600 high-quality council homes, a new multi-purpose health centre and a range of shops and workspaces situated around an enhanced transport interchange.

The next wave of projects will transform the neighbourhood, bringing forward new facilities and improved green spaces, with enhanced sports and play areas and new Community Hub at Down Lane Park, and a new nature reserve at the Paddock, completing over 2 miles of green enhancements connecting Tottenham High Road to the Lee Valley.

We are running a series of walking tours through Tottenham Hale and a small exhibition, exploring the story of Tottenham Hale and journey to creating an active green neighbourhood and place to live well, through 10 years of regeneration.

Walk: Down Lane Park, Greening and Co-Design

Join Haringey Council for a walking tour exploring the transformational improvements to Down Lane Park – co-designed with the community.

At the start of 2022, working with a Community Design Group (CDG) made up of volunteers and representatives from the local area, the council set out to develop a vision for the future of Down Lane Park. Working together with the a Community Design Group over 19 months and 20 meetings, Levitt Bernstein Landscape Architects have developed a transformational masterplan for the park which is now being delivered in phases.

Explore the recently completed improvements in phase 1, including the diagonal path, beautiful new Wildflower Swales, and a shaded woodland area with new planting and seating. These features enhance the park’s beauty, manage rainwater, reduce flooding, and support local biodiversity.

The walk will cover the strategic vison, the co-design journey and delivery of this new large-scale park improvement project, which prioritise residents’ health and wellbeing through improved access to green and open space.
