Russell Park

Park Overview

Russell Park and the Embankment Gardens are situated close to the centre of Bedford in Bedfordshire. They feature landscaped historic gardens, tennis courts, a putting green and a play area.

It was first opened as a recreation ground at the end of the 19th century following the widening of the river and the opening of the Suspension Bridge. The park also has a bowls green, table tennis and football pitches.

The play area is free to use and it has climbing frames for all ages. The biggest structure features wobbly bridges, a climbing wall and slides. There is also an older wooden play frame and a boat-type play area. There are lots of areas to walk or cycle alongside the river.
