West Ham Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

West Ham Park is a public park in the London Borough of Newham. Spanning 77 acres (312,000 m²), the park has been managed by the Corporation of London since 1874. It features a botanical garden, children's playgrounds and many sporting facilities: football pitches, cricket nets, tennis courts and an athletics track.

There is also a nursery that is one of the largest operations of its kind in the UK, producing over 200,000 spring and summer bedding plants each year for the park, gardens and churchyards in the City of London and other Corporation Open Spaces. Plants grown in the Nursery are also used to add floral embellishment to State occasions and banquets hosted by the Corporation of London.

Guided tours of the nursery and Park are available by prior arrangement with the Park Office.
