Grundy Park Redesign | Cheshunt

Grundy Park, once the landscaped grounds of one of Cheshunt’s grandest country houses, recently underwent a £1.3 million transformation. A+L Architecture Studio has led the landscape architecture design for the scheme from concept design through to tender, construction and continues to oversee post construction development on site.

The new landscape design carefully restores and celebrates the park’s historic character - retaining a listed boundary wall, original hedgerows, and mature tree structure, while introducing a series of contemporary, community‑focused spaces. Key new features include a grander welcoming entrance, a cherry-trees lined avenue walk, and a central parterre garden that forms the heart of the scheme and is inspired by the park’s Edwardian history.

Additional enhancements include a raised‑bed community garden, a new avenue lined with topiary trees, a pétanque court for local community use, and refined Edwardian‑style planting along the park’s edges to create year‑round interest. Wider recreational improvements deliver a new all‑weather pitch, an upgraded basketball court, and renewed play facilities.

This project forms part of the broader regeneration of the Cheshunt area, designed to restore Grundy Park to its former prominence and establish it as a vibrant, much‑loved destination for the Broxbourne community.
