The development of Oxhey Activity Park is now complete and provides state-of-the-art sport and leisure facilities.  The site previously contained a Gaelic Football Pitch, along with full size football pitch, tennis courts and the Irish Centre but all previous uses ceased as a result of the new road serving Watford Riverwell– completed in 2016.

​

Watford Borough Council developed the site to be used to provide sporting infrastructure in line with their aspiration that Watford should be a town in which participation in sport increases for everyone and there is a thriving and vibrant sporting infrastructure.

Extensive consultation on the plans were carried out with stakeholders and the wider public, and the plans reflect this accordingly. 

 

The development provides a café with a riverside terrace, toilets with Changing Places services, a toddler and junior play area, improving walking and cycling routes through the park including disabled access, recreation facilities for skateboarding, scooters, blading, mountain bikes & BMX. It will also see a creation of wetland areas in the park and improvements to the River Colne corridor.
