Grovelands Park is a public park in Southgate and Winchmore Hill in Middlesex, that originated as a private estate. The park is Grade II* listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest.[1]
In 2013 Enfield Council revealed several concepts to improve the park, including refurbishing existing sports facilities, opening up disused land owned by Thames Water, and the provision of a new primary school.

The terrapins in the lake were believed to be the descendants of discarded pets that were able to survive and breed. Feral terrapins are a recurring problem in many London waterways.[2]
