Introduction
The park is in two sections bisected by a straight footpath, the west section open grassland and the east section laid out as a formal garden in the early-20th century. In the centre is a drinking fountain in memory of C W Barratt whose confectionery factory overlooked Wood Green Common from 1880 to around 1980, and was an important local employer.
