Whittington Park is a public park in
Upper Holloway, North
London. Like the nearby
Whittington Hospital, it is named after
Dick Whittington, and a large topiary cat, in reference to Whittington's legendary pet, stands at the
Holloway Road entrance. Amenities include a raised
Astroturf football pitch, children's playground, and experimental garden planted as part of an
RSPB initiative to investigate the preferred habitat of
house sparrows. In 2009 and 2010, renovations were carried out at Whittington Park, including the construction of a new community centre.
