About your park
History
Chestnuts Park used to be a watercress farm. The stream running through the land is contained in an underground tunnel.
Where the community centre is, there used to be a large house called Chestnuts House, built around 1850. The house was demolished in the 1980s but some of the brick entrance columns remain.
Willow garden and orchard
The park has a community willow garden and orchard of 21 fruit trees.
Green Flag Award
First awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award in 2008, the park has kept it ever since.
