There are three main parks in North Lynn: Peck's field (named after the previous owner of the land before the North Lynn estate was created), The Rec (RECreation Ground) and Colombia Park.

Some children go to Eastgate Primary instead of St Edmond's (Foundation Community).

North Lynn also has two large ponds popular with anglers.

These are collectively known as the "long ponds", and were created as reserves of fresh water in case of emergency.

[1] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished to form Kings Lynn.
