Travel
Information
By
Foot
From Watford town centre: From the top of the High Street (where
the pond is) follow Rickmansworth Road (A412) past the Town Hall,
Watford Colosseum and The Peace Hospice.
By
Bike
A road-free cycle route links the town centre to the park (same
directions as above). The Ebury Way cycle and footpath between
Rickmansworth and Watford is within 2km of the park and can be
reached by cycling down the old Ascot Road, crossing Rickmansworth
Road and then along Gade Avenue. The Grand Union Canal which runs
along the western border of the park provides a link to Croxley and
Rickmansworth in the south and North Watford, Abbots Langley and
Kings Langley to the north.
By
Car
There is one official car park for Cassiobury Park at the end of
Gade Avenue near the bottom of Cassiobury Park Avenue (WD18 7LG and
WD18 7LH are the nearest postcodes).
The car park is signposted from the centre of
town and Rickmansworth Road with brown tourist information
signs. Parking is
free but is limited to about 120 spaces. In
the summer an extension is opened to enlarge the carpark, however
on good weather weekends this will often be
full.
The Car Park opens at 6am and closes at 9pm
when a barrier rises to restrict access. You can however exit the
carpark until at least 10pm – the out barrier lowers as you
drive up to it.
Between 2 and 4pm on sunny weekends the Car
Park is likely to be full. The roads around the park are also
likely to be very busy with parked cars and people looking to find
somewhere to park so it is suggested you park some distance away to
avoid getting stuck in an uncomfortably hot traffic
jam.
On-street parking to the north and south of
the park is free but restrictions apply.
By Tube
Cassiobury Park is a 2 minute walk from the
Watford Metropolitan line station on the London Underground
network. Exit the station onto Cassiobury Park Avenue and turn
right, after about 150 metres turn left onto Shepherds Road –
the park is straight ahead of you.
