Cheshunt Park

Park Lane, Cheshunt Cheshunt Park June 09

This large area of grassland and woodland forms a green 'heart' to the Borough. The park has a rich history and was the subject of a 'Time Team' investigation in 2001 in which they uncovered part of Ermine Street, the Roman Road from London. The majority of the site is managed as wildflower meadow with hay cut once a year.

The park achieved coveted Green Flag status in 2005 and has retained this for the last three years.

 

 

 

 

Broxbourne Council has recently won Heritage Lottery funding to further improve the park. The park is situated next to an 18-hole golf course, Cheshunt Park Golf Club.

The park covers 235 acres and facilities include car parking, picnic tables, a play area, easy access path, toilets and café in the clubhouse, and community events – the largest of which is an annual firework display for Bonfire Night which attracts nearly 10,000 people.

 

The Friends of Cheshunt Park is a group of regular park users who act as the eyes and ears for the park manager as well as providing support for community events. It is free to join and requires no obligation - Friends receive regular updates on park activity and can attend the bi-annual meetings. To join contact the Park Manager on ah.leisure@broxbourne.gov.uk

 

The History of Cheshunt Park is published in a separate leaflet available from the Golf Centre.
