More than half a million pounds awarded to transform Broomfield Park project

Enfield Council has received initial support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for their project ‘Unlocking Broomfield Park for the Community’, it was announced today.

Made possible by National Lottery players, the project aims to reinvigorate Broomfield Park, exploring its rich heritage and providing activities for the community and stakeholders to engage with the vision for the park.

Development funding of £532,490 has been awarded by the Heritage Fund to help Enfield Council progress their plans to apply for a full National Lottery grant of £3,672,231 at a later date. The project will include developing a plan for dismantling the derelict, burnt-out shell of Broomfield House and reconnecting the House and Park through memorialization, interpretation, and landscaping which will include restoration of the unique Baroque water garden.

The project has been developed by Enfield Council in collaboration with the Friends of Broomfield Park, Broomfield House Trust, the Enfield Society, Southgate District Civic Voice, and councillors who helped steer and shape the application.
