Family Fun in the Park
Herschel Park is an exciting, family-friendly place to explore. With Victorian features and extensive wildlife and plants, there’s always something new to discover.
Find out more about the park’s history and the people who used it by downloading the audio resource, created and recorded by young people in Slough. The audio resource explores historical characters connected to Herschel Park, including Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens. Download the character map to take to the park and then simply find the character location on the map, go to it, and listen to the characters’ stories! Why was the park built? Why did Queen Victoria visit? Who was the park’s most eccentric resident?
There’s also tree trail around the park (which will be downloadable from the website soon). How many different trees can you find? Can you find the tree that is over 150 years old?
Herschel Park hosts family friendly events throughout the year, including games, music and wildlife tours. Please see Herschel Park Events for details of forthcoming events in the park…
