Brief description of site
Broomfield Park is an early 20th-century public park. It incorporates gardens laid out in the early 18th century to complement the house. The house is now derelict, following a fire. There are two lakes, a boating lake, a bowling green, a children's play area, a sports pitch, a green house and the remains of a walled garden.

The house was built in the 16th century and is shown on an estate map of 1599. Rocque's map of Middlesex, 1754, shows the park with its present boundaries, a series of ponds and an avenue. The House and park were opened to the public in 1903.
