The project, like earlier wetlands schemes in Firs Farm Park, Grovelands Park and elsewhere, has several aims: providing a wildlife habitat for public enjoyment, reducing the risk of flooding downstream and improving water quality in the Pymmes Brook, into which water from the park flows.  This is a part of a larger project to improve the quality of water in various local tributaries of the Lea and eventually in the Thames itself (the Lea flows into the Thames at Limehouse).
