Princes Park, Temple Fortune

Princes Park is a small public park and Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation in Temple Fortune in the London Borough of Barnet.^[1]

History

Princes Park was laid out as a public park in 1923. ^[2] The area was shown as wooded on a 1796 map, and it has mature oak trees that predate local housing.^[3] A wild service-tree and crab apple also show a long history, while hawthorn hedges are probably remnants of farm hedgerows.^[4]

Amenities

It has two tennis courts and a children's playground.

There is access from Oakfields Road and Park Way.

In February 2018 a memorial for Sir Nicholas Winton was installed.
