The site was a sewage farm from the middle of the 19th century until 1966 when it fell into disuse. It was declared Metropolitan Open Land in 1982.
The country park itself was opened in 1989 after the creation of the pond and wet meadow. With a range of different habitats, the country park is a haven for wildlife and an important site for nature conservation. It is a local nature reserve.
The park has an excellent bird record with over 100 different species being sighted each year. The large wetlands attract a wide variety of birds.
