About

Verulam Park is a large public green space north of St Albans city centre, centred around two lakes formed from the River Ver. The park's open grasslands are bordered by mature tree lines and sports facilities, including a cricket pavilion and bowling green. Its paths connect to the wider Alban Way trail and the historic Verulamium Park, which contains Roman ruins.

The area is defined by its proximity to the remains of the Roman city of Verulamium, with the parkland encompassing part of the ancient settlement site. The Hypocaust and sections of the original city wall are visible within the grounds. This creates a landscape where recreational open space directly overlays and showcases the area's deep historical foundations.
