Furzton Lake was created when the Furzton estate was being developed in the 1980s and incorporated a disused, water-filled clay pit. Its original purpose was as a “balancing lake” to hold floodwater in heavy rain. Since then, the lake and surrounding parkland has matured and developed into a recreation facility for joggers, cyclists and walkers with a series of paths and cycleways.
