This is hornbeam and oak woodland and a Site of Special Scientific Interest which also screens Ruislip Lido. There is a strip of younger woodland where pylons once stood and in the south a stand of aspen and wild cherries. It was earlier known as Ruislip Park – that is a park in the medieval sense from the 13th century. The original enclosure was oval and in the southern part of the present wood. Earth banks enclosed it and they run from near the entrance from Broadwood Avenue eastwards to the footpath near Grangewood School in Fore Street. This land belonged to Kings College and began to be taken for building in the 1920s. Following public concern in 1930 the College agreed to make Park Wood public open space. This was agreed and part funded by Middlesex County Council and Ruislip-Northwood Urban District Council agreed to maintain it. It was declared open in 1932.
