About Paradise Park Playground
Paradise Park is a free neighbourhood park in the heart of Islington, off Sheringham Road in the Holloway area. The land and site are the responsibility of Islington Council, which manages and maintains the park, so it is free and open to the public. Families use the children's playground, while the park is perhaps best known for its high-quality, floodlit third-generation artificial football pitch, which is popular for organised games and casual play. Close by is the Paradise Park Children's Centre on MacKenzie Road, a welcoming space for families with children under five where local parents and carers can spend time with their children, take part in activities and find information about services. The park's central location makes it easy to reach on foot or by bus from Holloway, Highbury and the surrounding streets, with Highbury and Islington and Caledonian Road stations within reach. Compact but well used, Paradise Park is a handy free spot for everyday play and sport in a busy part of the borough, combining a children's playground with sports provision and family support services all in one place for the local community.
