Open all year
Large well equipped park in Hertford with 11 points of interest
Hartham Common is a well established open space with over 1000 years of recorded history. It is approximately 19.71 ha (48.7 acres) in size and located within only 5 minutes walk of Hertford town centre. The park has important access and ecological links with neighbouring sites, particularly through its river corridors.
Hartham Common benefits from a range of facilities including a leisure centre and swimming pool, public toilet, two well equipped play areas, a skate park, football pitches, bowling green, tennis courts, trim trail, ample vehicle parking with CCTV, and extensive riverside and woodland walks. In the summer, refreshments are provided from a kiosk operated by the leisure centre and a variety of events take place throughout the year.
In 2013, Hartham Common was dedicated as a Queen Elizabeth II Field in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee in 2012. The Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge was created to protect two thousand and twelve outdoor recreational spaces for communities now and for generations to come as a permanent living legacy of the Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics. The dedication helps to reaffirm the importance of Hartham Common to the local community and to underline the commitment that East Herts Council has to developing and maintaining parks of a high standard right across the District.
