About Your Park

Located in Tottenham, Bruce Castle Park covers eight hectares of parkland and is rich in history dating back to the early 11th century.

The park was created from the remains of the ancient Bruce Castle family estate, purchased by the council in 1892. Bruce Castle Museum, a Grade 1 listed 16th century manor house, now houses the borough’s local history collections and archives and has been open since 1927. The Museum and Parks Service produced a tree trail for the park, detailing an exciting trail for children to follow. For more information, visit the Bruce Castle Park Tree Trail page.

Each year nearly 900,000 people visit the park to use its many facilities, including the tennis and basketball courts, boules, or to enjoy festivals and events. In the summer, the most visited attraction in Bruce Castle Park has to be the brilliant paddling pool, which children and families flock to when it's open from the end of May until September.

A magnificent ancient oak tree dominates the northern side of the park. This impressive large Oak Tree is believed to be about 500 years old and came runner up in the Woodland Trust’s Tree of the Year award.

The Pavilion, now used as a café (T on the Green Tea Rooms), provides meals and snacks and is involved in community activities.

The park is also home to a poignant Holocaust Memorial Garden which contains some touching sculptures to help visitors reflect on this humanitarian tragedy.

Both the Museum and Park have active Friends Groups. Find out more about each friends group:
