Watford. a Guide to Its Parks & Open Spaces Watford A guide to its Parks & Open Spaces "real hidden gems awaiting your discovery" watford.gov.uk WE ARE WATFORD watfordcouncil WATFORDWATFORD A A GUIDE GUIDE TO TO ITSITS PARKSPARKS & & OPEN OPEN SPACES SPACES Foreword HeG One night (me thoughts) walking up one of my Lords line-walks, I heard the grateful Trees Thus Paying the Tribute of their thanks to his Lordship: Like Pyramids our Stately Tops wee’l Raise To Sing our Noble Benefactor’s Praise; Freshly we will to After-ages show What Noble Essex did on us bestow; For we our very Being owe to him, Or else we had long since entombed been In Crop of Bird, or in Beasts Belly Found, Or meet our Death neglected on the ground; By him we cherish’d were with Dung and Spade, For which wee’l recompence him with our Shade; And since his kindness saw us prun’d so well, We will Requite him with our Fragrant smell; In Winter (as in Gratitude is meet) Wee’l strew our humble Leaves beneath his Feet. Nay, in each Tree, Root, Trunck, Branch, all will be Proud to Serve him and his Posterity. Moses Cook, 1676, landscape designer for the Cassiobury Estate for the 1st Earl of Essex Introduction Parks and Open Spaces play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for local communities in Watford. They improve the appearance of the town, and provide for informal recreation, sport and play. But the beneLits are much wider than this. These include social beneLits and opportunities, such as children’s play, passive recreation, active recreation, providing a community and cultural focus and are often an educational resource. The benefits to health are now well known. Recent and ongoing research has shown that contact with the natural world can benefit mental and physical health. Environmental benefits include reducing noise and harmful pollutants and the role they play in supporting much of our urban wildlife must not be underestimated. In 2013, Watford adopted its Green Spaces Strategy and has since improved many of its parks and open spaces, children’s play areas and allotments. Progress has been excellent and as a result, Watford’s green spaces continue to be much loved. The Green Spaces Strategy sets a challenging target for continued improvement. One of the priorities was a new guide covering a selection of our many parks and open spaces, with historical anecdotes and facilities available. Some of these are real hidden gems and are awaiting your discovery. “real hidden gems awaiting your discovery” Cheslyn House and Gardens (page 6) 1 WATFORD A GUIDE TO ITS PARKS & OPEN SPACES ©1 Alban’s Wood Local Nature being designed and built in 1853 by Sir George Gilbert Scott who is better known as Reserve the architect of St. Pancras Station and the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens.

  • CASSIOBURY PARK Watford, Hertfordshire
    HERITAGE CASSIOBURY PARK Watford, Hertfordshire CLIENT: WATFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL VALUE: £5,400,000 CONTRACT PERIOD: 69 WEEKS This 18 month-long scheme saw works take place across what is, at 190 acres, Watford’s largest public open space. Attracting around 2 million The newly refurbished Cha Cafe visitors a year, Cassiobury Park’s historic importance was recognised in 1999 when it entered at Grade II in the English Heritage’s Register of Parks and Gardens of Historical Interest. The project, on behalf of Watford Borough Council, was made possible by funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery and incorporated: • The careful restoration and relocation of a Grade II listed Hill and Smith Bandstand from the Town Hall back to its original home in the park • Refurbishment works to the existing Cha Cafe including the creation of a new external playground and surrounding paving/ landscaping works • The creation of a new entrance to the park which features a “footprint” of the old gatehouse laid out in the cobblestones • Restoration of the former Mill to Cassiobury House, the house itself was demolished in 1927 The final phase was the construction of a eco-friendly Hub Building and the modernisation of existing paddling pools in the heart of the park. Set into the landscape the Hub is finished with striking CorTen weathered steel cladding and features a cafe, exhibition rooms, educational facilities, changing facilities for the nearby sports pitches, toilets and office space for park staff. Living Sedum roof on the Hub Building An environmentally friendly approach was adopted from the outset to ensure the construction process was optimised and the finished build was as sustainable as possible.

  • WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD by Ian Welland
    WHERE GATES ONCE STOOD By Ian Welland William Cross lit his lantern and bid a passer-by good day. ‘You take care now Jack, these nights are drawing in fast.’ ‘You too Will. See you at the Tantivy?’ ‘Not tonight; his Lordship wants me to keep watch on some poachers over at Grove Mill.’ William noticed the warm autumnal feel that had dominated September, had been firmly replaced by a rasping air that was seasonally moving the park toward winter’s veil. The leaves, golden and crimson, were now felled. The ground, inky and damp. William pulled his thick collar up around his neck and tucked his scarf securely into his coat. Making his way to the small gates on the far side of the park, he called to a stranger gazing from the bandstand toward the River Gade. ‘Sir, time to take your leave. If you want Watford Met, I’m about to close the small gates.’ ‘No thank you Watchman,’ said the stranger. ‘For I seek lodgings in town.’ ‘In that case, I will come by and light your way to the ramparts.’ After securely locking the small gates, William made good his promise to the stranger by lighting their path toward the triumphant castle-esque rampart gates that led to the town. ‘These gates were put ‘ere when Great Britain joined Ireland in an act of union. ‘Tis said that King George himself admired these gates; so much so, he wanted a similar archway for Buckingham Palace.’ William chuckled. ‘Probably old wives tale, but I like it.’ ‘They are magnificent,’ said the stranger.
