About the park<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Loxford Park is a large park that has a lot of mature trees and shrubs that provide a great habitat for wildlife and birds. It benefits from an old sunken garden that is popular with park users wishing to rest from walking and also popular with skaters who enjoy a small skate park in this area. The Park has a fantastic play area featuring a huge tunnel, mounds to run up and down, boulders and planting and a nest swing that can be enjoyed together by children of all ages and abilities. In January 2015 Vision Redbridge Culture & Leisure worked in partnership with the charity Trees for Cities to plant an edible tree trail along the boundary of Loxford Park. All 30 trees planted were chosen for their edible features such as fruits, nuts, leaves or bark. As well as providing a source of food, as the trees mature they will become a prominent feature in the park landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
