Paignton Park
Tiny Forest
Discovery Day - Saturday 12 July 12-5pm
Join us to explore our local Tiny Forest and its wonderful wildlife. This free event welcomes kids and adults, no age limit on curiosity. You can stay as long as your heart desires, and don't forget to munch on the complementary snacks while you're with us.
The Tiny Forest was planted in Paignton Park, in partnership with Earthwatch, Haringey Council, Blackrock, VCRA, and the support of the local community in March 2025. There was a great turnout for the community planting session with more than 50 people throughout the day.
Funding for Paignton Park Playground
Paignton Park has been allocated £150,000 towards play area improvements and Haringey Council would like your views on how this is spent.

Rough Sleepers
The Council has an Street Outreach Team to help rough sleepers.
Also, any member of the public, professional or person affected by rough sleeping themselves can use the Streetlink service, and the referrals are sent across to the Council Outreach Team immediately on receipt of the referral.
