Arena Fields kickabout
Remember – from this July we lose Arena Fields to the Olympic Park opposite Leabank Square permanently.
So if you want to have a kickabout, picnic, stroll, walk the dog, reminisce, look at Leabank Square from a hill – or even invite some of your neighbours for a walk – you’ve only got a few more months to do it.
Lets all enjoy the last bit of peace & quiet opposite us – until that is – we get a beautiful Olympic Park in a few years time!!

Whoops!! As of today - Valentines Day 2007 - no one can access Arena Fields anymore.
It has been sealed off by a high fence in preperation for the Olympic building site.
It's a very sad day - but hey! - in 2012 we'll all be loving it!!
I didn't realise just how historic this pic would be when I took it!!
Hackney Wick will never EVER look like this again!!
You can just about make out the roofs of Leabank Square behind Shanthi.
The latest info I have is that this bit of land is either going to be a satelite park - or a multi-story car park!
But it is the legacy I'm more worried about!
Will they return it to a field once the Olympics are over?
I guess it's up to all of us to keep our eyes & ears wide open to any changes we hear about - & then chat about it - and then put pressure on the suits to make sure the Leagacy is really that!!
