Sad news, the enormous oak bough crossing the path near the Finsen Road gate has finally come down. Looks like it may have snapped before being part dismantled by the tree surgeons ...

Hi. I can confirm that's what happened. A large fracture was developing (making quite a bit of noise) and the tree surgeons managed to attend fairly quickly, but unfortunately this work was the best option to limit the damage.

Darn. The big oaks always seemed to me to be what a tree should be in my head. An ur treeness.

Just noticed this thread. I came by train from East London with my two-year old to visit Ruskin Park. Was really impressed by the paddling pool. Its the best I've seen anywhere in London so far. Its a lovely park.

They've had to fight very hard to keep it.

It always had that rare gravity and logic-defying characteristic of really old oaks, that always reminded you that the park was designed around the tree rather than the other way round. My kids have grown up climbing and swinging on that bough, and I'm sure generations of others too

Glad you enjoyed it. We're winding it up now for the year, after a lot of volunteer effort to keep it full and clean. It's a really special place.

I know is probably old news in Ruskin Park, but I noticed the new Steel Warriors gym when I was there this weekend: Steel Warriors gym launched in Ruskin Park
From what I gather it's made up from the recycled metal taken from knives seized on the streets. There are a couple of photos in google: Google Maps
I personally think it's a great idea.

It seems to be getting well used - people in it every time I've gone past in the last week or two.

What a brilliant initiative and a welcome change from all the pricey new commercial gyms moving into the area.
