Chestnuts Park is a 5 hectare park between the West Green, St Ann’s and Harringay neighbourhoods.

Chestnuts Park was originally known as Chestnuts Recreation Ground. The park is surrounded by metal boundary railings, replaced in simplified form after World War II, but it still retains its original gate piers made from yellow brick with red brick quoins and stone banding and pyramidal stone caps and some of the original Gothic style wrought iron gates.

Chestnuts Park is protected in perpetuity as a site for public recreation with Fields in Trust.
