Highfield Park is situated on the eastern side of St Albans in Hertfordshire and has 60 acres of public open space for you to enjoy. The Park is managed rather unusually, by a charity (the Highfield Park Trust). Trustees recruited from the local community have the responsibility to manage their community open space.

The Park has been created as a consequence of the closure and redevelopment of two former mental hospital sites. After 10 years of development the Park is a very attractive area with footpaths and cycleways throughout the Park, areas of wildlife interest, a host of other attractive features, sports pitches and in partnership with our tenants: the Watford YMCA and Trestle Theatre Company provide excellent sporting, cultural and arts facilities for you to enjoy at the Highfield Park Centre and Trestle Arts Base.

There is free parking, should you be coming by car, at the Highfield Park Centre where you will also find more information to make your visit enjoyable.
