Howard Park and Gardens is a vital green space in the heart of Letchworth Garden City. The park provides a range of activities including a paddling pool, play area, bowls green and wildlife areas; it also has quiet areas for reading and relaxation. The green space was a key part of the vision of Ebenezer Howard, founder of the garden city movement. His publication To-morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform (1898) outlined a utopian city where people live harmoniously with nature. The book resulted in the founding of the movement and the building of the first garden city, Letchworth, in 1903. |
