Lee Valley Regional Park Authority
Lee Valley Regional Park is a unique leisure, sports and environmental destination for all residents of London, Essex and Hertfordshire. The 26 mile long, 10,000-acre Park, much of it formerly derelict land, is partly funded by a levy on the Council Tax. This year there has been a 2.25% increase in this levy.
