West Hackney Churchyard and Recreation Ground
West Hackney Churchyard and Recreation Ground make up the 2.5 acre site on which stood the former West Hackney Church and its graveyard. The graveyard was closed in 1885 and was handed over to the local council of the time to be laid out as a park area, which became known as West Hackney Recreation Ground.
The site has a number of seats and flower beds, and is characterised by the rows of old gravestones along it's back wall.
We are working with Groundwork London on improvements to the recreation ground. If you are interested in getting involved in the future of the space, please contact Sam Parry on 020 8356 4899 or sam.parry@hackney.gov.uk
