Lordship Recreation Ground

Lordship Recreation Ground is a public park in Tottenham, London Borough of Haringey.

It is over 20 hectares in size. Access is from Lordship Lane and from opposite Downhills Park in Downhills Park Road. It stretches approximately 750m north-south. The River Moselle runs through the park from west to east. There is also a small lake.

It opened in 1932, and includes a variety of recreational facilities, including tennis courts and a small theatre.

In 1938, the Minister of Transport opened a 'model traffic area' where children can learn about road traffic in a safe environment.

A community group exists for the park. The park has recently undergone redevelopment and improvement, for which it received a Lottery grant.
