Information about this open space

Coronation Gardens is a formal park situated in Leyton and is located within the main shopping area.  The park includes formal bedding, lawn areas, a bandstand, ornamental pond, fountain and rose gardens.  Features in the gardens include the only original bandstand in the Borough, an attractive perimeter fence, a fishpond, a sundial, a rose garden, formal spring and summer bedding displays, a war memorial, mature trees and shrubs, toilets and an attendants hut.  Coronation Gardens was laid out in the style of East Ham’s Central Park during 1901 and 1902, and was formally opened on 23rd May 1903.  The park was subject of the successful Heritage Lottery fund bid and extensively refurbished. The park re-opened in its transformed state in May 2003.  Approximately 333,000 visits per year are made to Coronation Gardens by local residents.  The park is characterised by a number of impressive mature trees retained from when the park originally opened in 1903.  The park is staffed.
