Catton Park is open for all to enjoy at any time
It has special significance as it was the first commission of Humphry Repton as a landscape gardener.
You can wander through the open wild flower meadow or you can explore the woodland with its many interesting trees and wood sculptures.
There are footpaths through the woods and across the park; most of which are accessible by wheelchairs and push-chairs.

James9 July 2024I love Catton park and it's weird how I always seem to forget that it's there. Fantastic place for an afternoon stroll, a walk with the dog and I often see people geocaching, juggling, exploring and crafting land art with fallen leaves and twigs. Hard to believe how close this little park of peace is to the city!
The Coffee boy7 July 2024Went back to see the Circus, amazing. But overall, this is still the best place to walk the dogs, clean and well looked after!
Ama lili4 July 2024Love going there it's a nice walk around
Martyn Oakley25 June 2024Great place to unwind... early morning walks are a great way to start the day. Getting a bit boggy in places when it rains. Keep your eye out for the wooden carvings dotted around. Occasionally spoilt by out of control owners and their dogs. Evening walks in the summer sunshine are one of the highlights of a working week. Keep an eye out for all the carved wooden totems dotted around the park.

Catton Park History
The development of the area now known as Catton Park was carried out over a period of a hundred years from the 1770s onwards and was the work of successive owners of the Catton Hall estate of which it formed a part.
Although Catton Hall is no longer in the same ownership as Catton Park, the history of the two is inextricably linked as that of a mansion in a parkland setting.
The Catton Hall estate was not unusual in being formed as a place of occasional residence for the business elite of the city, and Norwich had, by the late 18th century, a ring of such residences.
