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. North Lynn has one junior school, one primary school and one infant school, respectively: St Edmund's Junior School, St Edmund's (Foundation Community) Primary School, and Highgate Infant School.
