Tookey Close open space presents a number of wildlife habitats, particularly along the south margin where naturalised clumps of shrubs and young trees grow among patches of rough grassland. On the southern margin of the open space, an old green lane connects with the footbridge over the Jubilee line leading to Fryent Country Park.
