Introduction
Ridgeway Park is an irregularly shaped site between residential streets, the northern section having tennis courts and park keeper's hut of around the 1930s, and open grassland beyond. In the southern section is a very fine miniature railway with an enclosed, landscaped stretch of track erected in the late-1940s by the Chingford Model Engineering Club.
