Chapman's Green

The Friends of Chapman’s Green organise community events at the park throughout the year and try to keep it tidy with regular clean-up days. Building on these beginnings, we’re now working with Haringey Council and Grow N22 to explore how Chapman’s Green can best serve its community in the years ahead. With Noel Park Bowling Club having recently made the difficult decision to wind itself up, the park’s pavilion and bowling green needs to find a new use. And so now, more than ever, we as residents need to get together and plan what sort of future we want for our park.

The Friends are keen that the spirit of the Bowling Club and its history of social activity should be sustained by reimagining and reinvigorating how the whole site – park, pavilion and bowling green – is used in future. Our ambition is to transform the pavilion into a mixed use community hub, suitable for a range of small-scale activities and events; to improve the quality and usability of the park by introducing play equipment; and to review how the former bowling green can be remodelled through planting, creation of a seating area, and retaining a smaller area for some form of bowls to continue.
