[1] Enfield Wash was where Elizabeth Canning (later married name Treat; 17 September 1734 – June 1773), an English maidservant claimed to have been kidnapped, held in a hayloft for almost a month and threatened with prostitution.

[3] Enfield Wash was first recorded in 1675 and on the Ordnance Survey map of 1822, from Old English (ga)wæsc 'a place that floods': historically there was probably a ford here where Ermine Street crossed Turkey Brook.

[4] The London Outer Orbital Path (Section 17) follows the course of Turkey Brook which flows west–east through the park.

In 2015 Ark John Keats Academy, an all through school for pupils aged 4–18 opened on the site.
