How big is Cassiobury Park?

What is there to do at Cassiobury Park?
You can pack your own picnic lunch (just not a barbeque), or visit one of the cafés for a bite to eat. There are playgrounds and paddling pools for the kids, as well as lots of organised events including runs and bike rides, walks and live music. On the weekends and during the school holidays, there is a miniature train, and in summer there is a bouncy castle.
What is the Cassiobury Park Heritage Trail?
It is a walking trail through the park which explores the history of the park. Follow the trail and visit points of interest to learn about the story of the park. To learn even more, the Watford Museum is just a 20-minute walk from the park.
Can I bring my dog to Cassiobury Park?
Dogs are allowed in the park, so long as they are kept on a leash and out of the water. Please be sure to clean up after your dog.
