Hi we live close to it. It's a good park with lots to do. Also there is a pop up beach there till the 31st of august. If you do go to the beach make sure you take cash as no cards are accepted.

As in Hackney Wick itself, the relatively affordable avail­ability of disused industrial premises has attracted a thriving community of artists and designers to Fish Island.

On Roach Road, The Counter is a charac­terful café within Stour Space, an exhibition, performance and studio space for the devel­opment of creative enterprises.
