Once a private garden serving the adjoining residences belonging to the Cator family. It was repurchased in 1932 for public recreation. It was resigned by HTA Design in collaboration with the London Wildlife Trust and opened to the public in 2019.[4] The park is made up of multiple biophilic spaces including lakes, wetlands and ponds. It is a protected space for wetland birds.[5] The park also includes sports facilities and a 3000m³ play space at the park most elevated point.[6][7]
