Brampton Park is the borough’s flagship park which has Green Flag status. The beautiful park with its mature trees and shrubs it is a wonderful place to wander, relax and have fun. The name Brampton means ‘place where broom grew’. The land was originally part of the Brampton Field, common land that was grazed and cultivated by the town burgesses. It was sold after the 1845 Inclosure Act, by the town burgesses and the land was developed as a residential area. The houses were built in the 1850s. The park was originally the gardens of two Victorian villas – the Firs (now the museum) and Pitfield House (now the café and Giggles and Wiggles nursery).
The land has been used as parkland for the enjoyment of the people of the borough since the 1950s.
