Barking Park is one of the oldest parks in the Borough of Barking and Dagenham and was the first Council-controlled park in the Borough. It was officially opened on 9th April 1898 by Councillor C. L. Beard JP, Chairman of Barking Town Urban District Council. The lake was created by damming the Loxford Water, which still exists as a separate channel to the north of the lake. This avenue of trees is beyond the head of the lake and leads out to South Park Drive ahead. There is a large area of well-tended allotments off to the right.
