Cedars park – Waltham Cross
Steeped in history, the park was once the site of Theobalds Palace, a favoured residence of James I. Queen Elizabeth I also visited Theobalds many times during her reign.
The park was given to the Borough in 1919 and today offers:
- a scheduled ancient monument,
- woodland walks,
- formal gardens,
- a play maze,
- ponds,
- play trail,
- Cafe,
- Cedars Nature Centre,
- an arboretum and
- a conservation area.
The park covers over 19 acres and was awarded Green Flag status in 2018.
In 2014, Broxbourne Council received a £1.89 million grant from the Heritage Lottery and Big Lottery Parks for People programme, to protect, conserve and improve Cedars Park for the Borough’s residents.
