About Leagrave Park
Leagrave Park is a Green Flag Award green space in the north west of Luton, free to enter and offering a mix of open parkland, sport, wildlife and heritage. One of its most notable features is the source of the River Lea, which rises within the park, giving it both historic and natural interest alongside dedicated wildlife areas. For families there is a children's play area, and the park's play equipment is part of Luton's borough-wide programme refurbishing its council-managed playgrounds. Sport is well catered for, with football pitches, cricket facilities, a bowling green and a pavilion, as well as wide open green spaces for informal games, picnics and walks. The combination of riverside origins, sports provision and open space makes Leagrave Park a popular everyday destination for the surrounding Leagrave and Sundon Park neighbourhoods. With the River Lea source, mature green space and family play all on one site, it offers a varied and relaxed visit for children and adults alike, and its Green Flag status reflects the standard of its upkeep and the experience it offers visitors.
