Wardown Park, Grade II listed park in Luton, England
The park features a large fountain, walking paths, formal gardens, and a boating lake formed by widening the River Lea during the Victorian period.
In 1904, local councillors purchased the Wardown estate from J Forder, transforming the private property into a public park for the community.
The Wardown Park Museum, housed in a former country residence, displays exhibitions of art and historical artifacts that represent the region's heritage.
Visitors can access the park through two entrance points with free parking areas located on Old Bedford Road and New Bedford Road.
During World War II, the park's lake served as a testing facility for waterproof trucks manufactured at the nearby Bedford Vehicles Dunstable plant.
