Stonebridge Gardens (Snake Park)
Stonebridge Gardens is a small park in Queensbridge Ward, located by the brand new Haggerston Station, part of the East London Line. The park is home to the ever popular blue snake, a large mosaic play and art feature which dwells in the play area.
Snake Park
The play area in Stonebridge Gardens was dramatically revamped in 2010 and is proving to be very popular, the snakes kingdom contains such treasures as monkey bars, a sand pit, multiple person swings, a three person see-saw, hammocks and a trampoline.
Improvements
Stonebridge Gardens Masterplan
A masterplan for the park was produced, in consultation with the local community. A consultation event was held in July 2010 and we got some great feedback on the draft design. A detailed design for the park is being produced and it is proposed that construction will commence in 2012.

Get Walking, Keep Walking
A lovely walk of under an hour through Dalston Squares. It is a walk of contrasts: new and old, bustle and calm. Leaving the bustle behind, we use quiet roads and estate paths, to visit, squares and gardens, from three different centuries. This walk passes through Evergreen Square, Albion Square and De Beauvoir Square. For more information see the Get Walking, Keep Walking website.
