Howard Park — Attraction in North Hertfordshire

Right in the center of the town, there is the perfect park for spending time on a sunny day. It is especially nice to come here with children and babies. Dozens of mothers with baby strollers in the place will testify to this. On the day we were there, there were several classes of school children. When we arrived they sat and listened to the teachers. Towards noon, they took off their uniforms and entered the shallow pool in bathing suits. At the entrance to the garden, you can see some old photos of the place are displayed, as well as of the children in bathing suits from the 40's and 50's having fun in the pool. The garden is dedicated to one of the founding fathers of the town. You can read about it at the entrance to the garden. When I was in the park I felt how the green color enveloped me from all sides. The trees are huge and shade part of the park. There is a playground for children. With a climbing device made of ropes. Swings of different types and more. My grandchildren had a great time.

Two small plastic cups with a bit of sauce and a tiny flake which has been split to make two. Quite disgusting really.

I’ll definitely be back to the park but I’ll give the van a miss. His photo isn’t representative of the item...

Great place for kids of all ages, especially if you're on a budget and want some outdoor fun. There's the splash park which keeps kiddies running about for ages and a park play area to challenge all ages, sand, toilets and a cafe which sells snacks, ice cream and drinks. If driving there is a pay and display car park right next to the park. Howard Park is next to the town, so you can walk within minutes to buy lunch or take a picnic. There's a grass area to kick a ball about or sunbathe. There's also bench seating and...
