West Ham Park City of London

Litter harms the planet and our park🍃

If you're visiting us this weekend and bringing food, drinks, or any other packaging with you, you know what to do once you're finished with it... bin it!

An Eid Prayer is happening tomorrow at the park from 9am - 10.30 am.

Anyone who wishes to take part can join near the football pitch at the South Gate entrance. Water will be available ☀️

Be safe in this weather, and Happy Eid 💚

Hot weather alert for West Ham Park 🌞🌿
With warmer temperatures coming, we’re asking everyone visiting West Ham Park to take a few simple steps to stay safe and help protect the Park:
💧 Bring plenty of water and stay hydrated
🚭 Please don’t light BBQs or leave glass bottles – dry ground can increase fire risk
🐾 Keep an eye on children and dogs, as surfaces can get very hot
Our park is a shared space for people, plants and wildlife – thank you for helping us keep it safe for everyone 💚

It's Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

Being in nature can be an incredibly powerful tool for feeling grounded and calm. Getting outside and away from screens for a walk, fresh air, bird song and a quiet moment can give us all the space to reflect and think.

Want to get outside this weekend? Why not join Frames of Mind on a guided cycle tomorrow. More information and the link to sign up can be found in their Instagram bio: https://www.instagram.com/framesofminduk/ 💚

Our playground hedge is growing at West Ham Park!🌱

Do you remember the hedge that local school children and volunteers planted at the start of 2025? It’s now bursting with fresh green growth and is already being put to work by pollinators, insects and other wildlife 🐝🦋

To help it get fully established, we’re putting up some temporary fencing to protect the young plants while they grow into a strong, full hedge.

Thanks to everyone who helped plant it, it’s lovely to see the benefits already taking shape!💚

This Sunday 17 May, join Frames of Mind and discover the hidden heritage of Forest Gate through an incredible bike trail tour!🚲

The tour will start at 11am from Margery Gate. Scan the QR code or visit https://framesofmind.uk/full-cycle-2024/ for more information.

Can you name any of these flowers, found in our Ornamental Garden? 🌻🏵️🪻
