Broomfield Park, Palmers Green

It is a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation[1] and is registered by English Heritage in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens for its special historic interest[2] The park was the garden of Broomfield House, which was built in the sixteenth century, although the oldest part of the present house is about 200 years old.

[2][3] In August 2019, a new wetland area was opened in the park, with the aim of creating a new wildlife habitat and improving river water quality nearby.

[4] The park has tennis and netball courts, a conservatory, a bandstand (where music events are occasionally held) a children's playground and a garden of remembrance.

An active group of volunteers, 'Friends of Broomfield Park', have in collaboration with Enfield Council, revived the conservatory, herbaceous borders, lakes and parkland.

[3] The park has a variety of wildlife habitats, including the lakes, some small woods and magnificent oak trees.
