About Watford Park u3a 

Watford Park u3a was established in 2007, and like all other u3as our aim is to encourage groups of people in their third age (i.e. post 'retirement') to come together and continue their enjoyment of learning in subjects of interest to them.

We have around 400 members. Members enjoy 12 Monthly Meetings each year, with speakers on a wide range of subjects, as well as organising and participating in many Interest Groups. You will find a list of our current Interest Groups on the Groups Page and members can see details of forthcoming activities on the Events Page. More details can be found in our monthly Newsletter that is distributed to members.

If you are interested in joining us as a new member then please got to the Join page. If you would like to meet some of our members first and take in an interesting talk from a guest speaker then please come along to a monthly meeting. We meet in St Luke's Church Hall in Langley Way, Watford, WD17 3EG in the afternoon of the fourth Tuesday in each month (except December which is the 3rd Tuesday).

We take our name from our proximity to Cassiobury Park, the principal public open space in Watford. The park covers an area of over 190 acres (77 hectares) of green space stretching from Watford town centre to woodland and countryside to the west of the town

The area now occupied by the park was formerly part of the estate of the Earls of Essex. The house was demolished in 1927 and the quaint, castellated entrance gates on the Rickmansworth Road were removed in 1967 to make way for a new traffic system.
