Jubilee Park

History

Jubilee Park was officially opened in June 1939. The park, formally a brick works, was opened during a time of rapid development of the Lea Valley area and the provision of an `open space' for local residents was just as much a priority for the Council then, as it is now. The area was landscaped by the Council and is still well known today, for its variety of trees.

The Park was named Jubilee Park to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935. The main entrance to Jubilee Park in Galliard Road is in keeping with the period with its impressive Art Deco Gates. Brick making was a major industry in the Enfield and Edmonton area, with the last brick works on Hoe Lane closing in the late 1970's.

Jubilee Park comprises an area of about 52 acres, including the Henry Barrass Sports Ground. For information or hire of the sports ground, please visit Sports - Pitches and Courts or contact the Parks Business Unit on 020 8379 1000.
