Park is a largely residential ward in the north‑west of Watford, Hertfordshire, centred on the extensive green lung of Cassiobury Park. The ward is notable for its riverside and canal‑side landscape where the River Gade and the Grand Union Canal pass through, and for surviving suburban streets of Victorian, Edwardian and inter‑war housing that grew up after the demolition of Cassiobury House in the early 20th century.
Locally the area combines an affluent, family‑oriented feel with strong community facilities - schools, sports clubs and regular events in Cassiobury Park - while small parades of shops and easy links into Watford town centre and to London make it popular with commuters; property prices tend to be higher than in some other parts of the borough and active residents' groups work to preserve green space and local character.
