Located in a bustling, regenerated area of east London, London Fields park has been transformed from a neglected area of common ground into a thriving rich recreation ground. It now contains a wonderful heated lido (one of the few heated outdoor pools in London), cricket pitch, a small BMX track, two tennis courts and a children's play area. To book a tennis court call Hackney City Tennis Clubs on 020 7254 4235. Cricket has been played on the park since as early as 1802 and the cricket strip on London Fields still hosts competitive games throughout the summer (late April to mid September). If you want to get in touch with London Fields Cricket Club, email londonfieldscc@gmail.com, alternatively, the cricket pitch can be booked by calling 020 8985 8206. The park is hugely popular spot on weekends, especially in summer when it gets crammed with young families enjoying barbeques and impromptu frisbee games. The nearby Broadway Market is also a popular spot where you can browse the stalls for picnic ingredients and enjoy an al fresco lunch back at the park.
