Luton Council's Parks and Countryside service is now progressing a very exciting project, focused on the restoration of Wardown Park’s historic boating lake and associated heritage features, join the project team to hear about the project and learn the history of this hidden gem.
In addition to the restoration aspects of this project, works are also planning to enhance the surrounding greenspace for the promotion of biodiversity and for local people to be more aware of the restoration of its natural heritage.
We're delighted to be receiving support from the The National Lottery Heritage Fund (LHF) for this very prestigious project. The development phase is now gaining momentum with the recruitment of:
Project Delivery Manager, Ciaran Mullan
Community Engagement Officer, Noreen Iqbal
An essential component of the project will be public engagement with users of the park and wider residents of Luton and beyond who we hope will be inspired to get involved with the project. We'd love you to share your views, experiences and memories of the park.
This walk will highlight the forgotten features of this beautiful Victorian park which has Edwardian elements also incorporated. Through the formal gardens and its suspension bridge. We will speak about the old mansion house which is now a museum, its uses through history and its design. Please note we will not be heading into the museum during the walk but you are welcome to visit after the walk is completed.
