We manage a number of parks and open spaces throughout Hertsmere, with different features and facilities in each. Seven of our spaces hold Green Flag Awards for excellence.
To find out what each park has to offer, choose which area you are interested in:
Art
We like a bit of art in a park!
King George Recreation Ground in Bushey, is home to a Caterpillar Column and The Family sculpture, while in Potters Bar you can spot our carved tree in Parkfield. We have a wide variety across the borough and are always looking at further opportunities within our parks.
How many of the different sculptures have you seen?
Cafes
Thirsty or need a snack? There are two cafes in our parks:
King George Cafe - Bushey
Aberford Park cafe - Borehamwood
Open every day from 8am to 8pm.
