Hat Gardens is a public park in Luton, owned and managed by Luton Borough Council. The park takes its name from the town’s historic hat-making industry, which was once the backbone of Luton’s economy and left its mark on many local street names and public spaces across the town.
The Park and Its Setting
Hat Gardens sits within the urban fabric of Luton, surrounded by residential streets and the everyday life of the town. As a local green space, it gives nearby residents an accessible outdoor area away from the busier roads and town centre. The park is typical of Luton’s network of neighbourhood green spaces maintained by the council for public use.
