Parkfield is the continuation of Oakmere Park on the western side of the High Street in Potters Bar. The red tree seen ahead here is a Japanese Maple; there are many interesting and unusual trees in Oakmere Park / Parkfield. The council has produced a leaflet on the "Tree Trail" - unfortunately the online version linked here http://www.hertsmere.gov.uk/Documents/08-Parks--Leisure/Parks--Open-Spaces/Park-facilities/Potters-Bar/Parkfield--Oakmere-Tree-Trail-leaflet.pdf is rather low quality (pixellated).
