About Weavers Fields Playground
Weavers Fields is the largest park in Bethnal Green, covering around 15.6 acres and ranking among the biggest open spaces in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which manages the site. It lies between Bethnal Green Road to the north and Dunbridge Street and the railway to the south, with entrances including Viaduct Street. The park offers a large children's playground alongside outdoor fitness equipment, full-size football pitches, a woodland walk, a cafe and plenty of open flat grass for family days out. Its name comes from the Huguenot silk weavers whose cottages once stood in the area; the buildings were cleared after the Second World War to create the park. Weavers Fields regularly hosts community events, including Bonfire Night and celebrations for Bengali New Year. A separate supervised adventure playground, Weavers Adventure Playground, also operates from the north-east corner of the park for older children. The park and its main playground are free and freely accessible.
