Why it's Wildland
5.6A former landfill and market-garden landscape was transformed into a park of lakes, woodland and grassland, opening to the public in 1995.
Bedfont Lakes has a tangible landscape-reclamation story and a varied mix of lakes, reedbeds, woodland and meadow. Its wildlife habitats make it more than an ordinary urban green space, though the supplied evidence does not establish particular species or a distinctive visitor feature.

Verified history
Bedfont Lakes Country Park opened in July 1995. The local-authority consultation page says the area was historically known for market gardens and orchards that supplied apples and pears to Covent Garden Market. It reports that the site was used as a landfill from the 1950s until 1973, then transformed from the late 1980s into parkland with lakes, woodland and grassland. The park opened to the public in 1995 and was declared a nature conservation and local wildlife site.
