A typical English village green, it comprises open grassland, small pockets of scrubby woodland and a pond.
Several damp hollows, probably former ponds, contain tussocky grassland with uncommon wild flowers such as great burnet, bog stitchwort and common marsh-bedstraw.
[2] The site includes a short footpath through woods to Coppice Walk, and there is also access from Totteridge Village and Laurel Way.
A footpath which starts next to Laurel Farm Pond goes through Folly Brook Valley to Woodside Park.
Much of the field was covered with tufted hair-grass, and it had scattered oak and crab apple trees and a good variety of wild flowers.
