Space to Visit

With looping paths and tree-lined avenues, Myatt’s Fields Park still embodies much of its original Victorian layout. The park still contains many of its original features including a small bandstand, roundhouse and refreshment kiosk. Newer additions include a café, toilets, community greenhouse , playground and wet play area, a children’s one o’clock nursery building, along with an artificial grass football pitch and tennis courts. Myatt’s Fields Park has a strong commitment to biodiversity, with a nature garden, areas of native bulb and hedge planting, naturalised grasslands and herbaceous borders and planted beds filled with pollinator-friendly species. The park was originally designed by Fanny Rollo Wilkinson, one of the few women designing new parks in the 19th Century, and first opened to the public in 1889.
