Broomhill Park, Public park in Ipswich, England.
Broomhill Park encompasses a semi-natural woodland situated between Sherrington Road and Valley Road, containing numerous mature oak trees and Scots Pines throughout its grounds.
The park land was sold to Ipswich Borough Council in 1925 by George Sherrington, transforming a private hilltop wood into a public recreational space for the community.
From 1877 to 1883, the grounds served as the first playing field for Ipswich Town Football Club, with players using the nearby Inkerman Pub as their changing facility.
The woodland park provides natural walking paths through its grounds, offering visitors opportunities for exercise, dog walking, and wildlife observation throughout the year.
The construction of the Ipswich ring road in 1926 divided the woodland into two sections, creating distinct areas north and south of Valley Road.
