With an internal area of approximately 390sqm, the new Education Centre offers environmental education classes all year round, and enables The Royal Parks to teach 2000 children on site each year. It also provides offices for the Royal Parks Foundation and Education teams.

Outside the Education Centre a nature walkway has been created with butterfly gardens, sensory areas, shrubberies and pond-dipping, encouraging children to explore and experience a range of natural habitats supporting many different kinds of wildlife.
