Officially opened in June 1939, Jubilee Park emerged during a time of rapid development of the Lea Valley area. The provision of an ‘open space’ for local residents was just as much a priority for the council then as it is now.
Jubilee Park was so-called to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935. In keeping with this period is the main entrance to Jubilee Park in Galliard Road with its impressive Art Deco gates.
The park now comprises an area of about 52 acres, including the Henry Barass Sports Ground. At one time, however, much of the park was a brickworks. Brickmaking was a major industry in the Enfield/Edmonton area, with the last brickworks on Hoe Lane closing in the late 1970s. The works were eventually landscaped over by the council to provide a public park.
