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.

Planned improvements  

There is the possibility to open up the culverted Stonebridge Brook. 

If successful it could: 

• improve the biodiversity of the area 
• provide new recreational opportunities 
• help reduce flood risks and improve drainage in the surrounding area
