Things to do

Approximately 160 acres of parkland and woodland, including a Children's Play Area, Park Hub with Cafe and Toilets, * Tennis Courts, Ampthill Town Cricket Club, Ampthill Town Football Club and Ampthill Angling Club. The Park is cared for by a Park and Amenities Manager and The Greensand Trust rangers. (* The Tennis Courts are open to all and are free of charge to use but please confine your play to 30mins duration if there are other people who are waiting to play.)

Charges are made in respect of camping by cadet organisations/youth clubs/school parties, orienteering, cross country events, caravan parking by registered organisations, the release of pigeons and use by Circuses. Please contact the Council with your enquiries. Car parking is available in two car parks (central car park by the Football Club and the west car park located just off the A507 bypass) for users visiting the Park.

The Park is much more than a pleasant place to visit; it's a nationally important historic site. Henry VIII hunted here and the parkland landscape we enjoy today was created by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in the 18th century. It is also home to a variety of interesting wildlife and the park's veteran trees, many planted by Capability Brown, some even older, are a valuable part of the park's heritage.
