Verulamium Park, Urban park in St Albans, United Kingdom.
Verulamium Park is a large green space in St Albans with an ornamental lake, walking routes, and family-friendly facilities. It occupies land where the Roman settlement stood and provides access to sports areas and leisure amenities.
The site was once Verulamium, an important Roman city in Britain founded around the 1st century. Excavations in the 1930s uncovered well-preserved Roman structures including a hypocaust heating system with mosaic floors.
The Verulamium Museum within the park displays numerous Roman artifacts that illustrate daily life in what was once a major Roman settlement in Britain.
The park offers various facilities including a seasonal splash park, children's play areas, and sports grounds for visitors. Parking is available near Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre, making access convenient for families.
The ornamental lake was created in 1929 and provided work for local people during the Great Depression. Today it serves as a breeding ground for grey herons, one of few such sites in Hertfordshire.
