Thank you for viewing my video. Watford has changed out of all proportion over the years, but the Park remains an oasis.

Lovely pictures. So many people have spent so much time in the Park, yet I bet all of them -myself included- feel that it spoke something personal to each one. It's changed a great deal, cleared and levelled mostly, but it's still a magical place. You can feel it, any time of year, anywhere from the willow to the woods. Thank you.

Thankyou. I've lived away from Watford for 35 years but I have fond childhood memories of the park. I remember the Whitsun fair, the bandstand and Scout games in Whippendell woods. I particularly remember the gates. Pulling them down was an act of vandalism by the Council - among many acts of vandalism that they have committed in the town.

@Tewinwood Thank you for your visit and comments. Sorry I haven't replied sooner.

wow, personal memories indeed. 30 odd years ago my brother and I would spend loads of time there in the waters with our toy boats on strings! Raised in the neighbouring Chalfonts I deeply miss places like these.  Good work! Tewinwood.....your memory is amazing!
