This large area of grassland and woodland forms a green 'heart' to the Borough. The park has a rich history and was the subject of a 'Time Team' investigation in 2001 in which they uncovered part of Ermine Street, the Roman Road from London. The majority of the site is managed as wildflower meadow with hay cut once a year.

The park achieved coveted Green Flag status in 2005 and has retained this for the last three years.

Broxbourne Council has recently won Heritage Lottery funding to further improve the park.

The Countryside Management Service is a specialist consultant for Cheshunt Park and is a key partner.
