Highbury Fields park improvement project

Highbury Fields project update - Spring 2026

Thank you for your ongoing interest while we make improvements to Highbury Fields. 

The plans for the new Highbury Café are progressing well; we now have a new proposed design which contains the following facilities:
• Park keepers hut
• Public toilets
• Accessible toilet
• Changing Place toilet
• Café servery
• Indoor and outdoor seating area

The new facilities will be thoughtfully designed to add to the character of Highbury Fields. We will be sharing more detailed designs in the Summer at public information events.

We are fully committed to creating high-quality, accessible amenities that serve the needs of all park visitors.

Until the new food and drink facilities are ready, Dusty Knuckle temporary cafe will still serve the community every day from 7.30am to 3.30pm so you can still enjoy great food and drink in the heart of the park.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to make Highbury Fields even better for everyone
