Stanborough Park

Stanborough Park, also referred to as Stanborough Lakes is a 126-acre park in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England.

The park features two lakes, which were opened more recently in 1970. They are man-made and were built as a result of gravel extraction at the time of the building of the A1 motorway, although the thought of a riverside park had been considered since the city's Master Plan of 1949. The whole park is completely man-made from an old quarry site creating the lakes and the hills around them.

The Boating Lake at Stanborough is 11.3 acres in size. It is a shallow lake, under three feet in depth with several small islands. The boating lake is fed by water from the River Lea at its north end and from a spring.
