Spa Fields, Public park in Islington, England.
The 2-acre green space includes a children's playground, sports facilities with basketball hoops, tennis nets, and football goals across the tarmac courts.
Originally spanning 14 hectares in the 18th century, Spa Fields gained notoriety for hosting duck-hunting and bull-baiting events before urban development reduced its size.
The park transformation began after the construction of Spa Fields Chapel in 1777, shifting from a location of unruly activities to a structured recreational space.
Located near Exmouth Market, the park operates from 8:00 until sunset and features step-free access to all sports facilities for inclusive community use.
The park contains a lavender garden and free-play sports courts where visitors cannot make advance reservations, encouraging spontaneous community participation.
