Welcome to Rye Park

Rye Park is a beautiful and serene park located in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. The park is spread over 47 acres of land and is home to a variety of flora and fauna. The park is a popular destination for nature lovers and families who come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and the fresh air. The park has a large lake that is home to ducks, swans, and other water birds. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll around the lake or sit on one of the many benches and enjoy the view. The park also has a children's play area, a skate park, and a basketball court, making it a great place for families to spend a day out.

Rye Park is not just a beautiful park, but it also has a rich history. The park was once part of the Rye House estate, which was owned by the Byde family in the 16th century. The estate was later sold to Sir Andrew Henley, who built a mansion on the site. The mansion was destroyed by fire in 1913, and all that remains today is the stable block, which has been converted into a café. The park also has a war memorial that was erected in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives in World War I and II.

Rye Park is a popular destination for events and activities throughout the year. The park hosts a variety of events, including music festivals, charity walks, and fun runs. The park is also a popular spot for picnics and barbecues during the summer months. The park has ample parking space, and there are several entrances to the park, making it easily accessible to visitors. Rye Park is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing day out in Hertfordshire.
