Grovelands Park, Grade II listed park in London Borough of Enfield, England.
Grovelands Park is a listed park in the London Borough of Enfield spanning about 40 hectares with an ornamental lake, extensive woodlands, and winding pathways. The grounds feature tennis courts, a children's playground, and a miniature golf course for visitors.
The park took shape in the late 1700s as part of a larger estate, with gardens designed by a prominent landscape architect of that era. The accompanying mansion was built in the 1790s for a wealthy businessman and continues to define the character of the site.
The park serves as a gathering place for local joggers and walkers who make regular use of its pathways and open spaces. This everyday activity gives the grounds a sense of living community throughout the week.
The park is open daily and easily accessible on foot or by public transport. Visitors should plan to arrive during daylight hours since access closes at dusk.
The lake holds an unexpected population of feral terrapins descended from released pets. These animals have established themselves there and now share the water with native species.
