This walking route was named by local resident Maria D - “Rambling around Kings’ Park is beautiful, named after a King and fit for King’s to ramble around”.
A brief history of Kings Park
Kings' Park was opened on June 29th 1938, to commemorate the reign of King George V and the Coronation year of King George VI. The site for the original park occupies the land from Chancery Lane to the River Idle. This was donated by Mrs M Huntsman of West Retford Hall in 1937. In 1960 a further donation of the land by R H Williamson to the west of the River Idle allowed for an extension to the park within the former grounds of the historic West Retford Hall.
