Wardown Park is one of Luton's most cherished green spaces, known for its historic character, boating lake and scenic grounds. As one of the town's district parks, it provides a peaceful environment within easy walking distance of the town centre.

The park surrounds Wardown House Museum and is recognised as a Grade II listed historic park and garden for its rare combination of Victorian and Edwardian landscape design. Over 100 years ago, local councillors and community leaders purchased the house, gardens and surrounding land so the public could enjoy them. Their decision created a much loved public space that continues to be enjoyed today.

A major restoration programme, supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, is helping to enhance the park and protect its historic features.
