About Fairlop Waters
Fairlop Waters is the largest country park and leisure facility in Redbridge. It is easily accessible from the M25, via the A12. It is a short walk from Fairlop and Barkingside stations, both on the Central Line.
There are accessible pathways for all to enjoy a walk through the country park year round, as well as a network of natural routes allowing you to get closer to the wildlife.
The large lake provides a location for watersports such as sailing, rowing and windsurfing.

The Boulder Park consists of nine individual boulders which are constructed of sprayed and carved concrete and vary in heights and shapes to cater for all abilities, from novice to expert. They are all designed for solo climbing and are a great place to practice bouldering and traversing skills.
