Parks

Broxbourne Council
provides almost 290 hectares (716 acres) of open space in the
Borough of Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, for the enjoyment of its
residents and visitors. In addition to this, the Lee Valley Regional Park
runs the length of the eastern boundary and provides further
extensive facilities, both formal and informal, including an
RSPB
Reserve.
Broxbourne Woods (Herts County Council; The Woodland Trust)
adjoins the western boundary and is the only National Nature
Reserve in Hertfordshire. It is also designated a Site of Special
Scientific Interest. The Council is constantly improving the
quality and accessibility of its open spaces to encourage as many
people as possible to get outside for relaxation, reflection,
sport, recreation and education. In a busy and increasingly
urbanised world the benefits of being outdoor for mental and
physical well-being are more apparent and important than ever
before. Green open spaces also help to stabilise urban temperatures
and humidity, absorb pollutants in air and ground water and provide
habitats and havens for wildlife.
