Why it's Wildland
3.0A 2.63-hectare neighbourhood park where mature weeping ash trees and a grass meadow sit alongside a playground, water play and community sports facilities.
Rosemary Gardens is a useful pocket of green space in east Islington, with mature trees, meadow and room to play or take a short breather. Its sports and playground facilities give it a lively local-park character rather than a remote or wilderness feel.
