Islington offers a wide selection of green spaces to enjoy, despite its sometimes busy feel. More specifically, public green spaces, like Hampshire Heights Park and Tom Riley Park, are very well-spread out and there are over 50 of them close by for residents to unwind in, making them very easy to get to. Moreover, residents will find that the tree canopy coverage for many streets is good. Finally, most parts of this neighbourhood are very calm and quiet, but some other areas can be noisy, especially close to the railway line or Highway 427.
