Hornchurch Country Park is a 104.5-hectare park on the former site of Hornchurch Airfield, south of Hornchurch in the London Borough of Havering, east London. The River Ingrebourne passes through the park and if forms part of Thames Chase Community Forest. The most popular part of the park is to the west of the Ingrebourne, where the ground is flat and paved; this area is most commonly frequented by dog walkers. The woodland to the east of the river is somewhat inaccessible. Some southern parts of the park that reach into Rainham have been used as landfill. There is a fishing lake located there, and there are many paths leading from the park to other nearby areas, including Upminster, Dagenham and Rainham. There are a number of pillboxes and other items dating from the Second World War to be found in the park.{{sfn|Pollard|Oliver|2003|pp=244-309}} The park is a Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade I.[1][2] Almost all of it falls within the Ingrebourne Valley Local Nature Reserve,[3][4] and the eastern edge is part of the Ingrebourne Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest.[5][6] There is access from Airfield Way/Squadron's Approach, off South End Road.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gigl.org.uk/online/site-Details.aspx?sID=HvBI05&sType=sinc|title=Hornchurch Country Park|publisher=Greenspace Information for Greater London|year=2013|accessdate= 26 October 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gigl.org.uk/online/|title=iGiGL data portal (map)|publisher=Greenspace Information for Greater London|accessdate=26 October 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.lnr.naturalengland.org.uk/Special/lnr/lnr_details.asp?C=0&N=ingrebourne&ID=1244|title= Ingrebourne Valley|series=Local Nature Reserves|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 26 October 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=lnrIndex&query=REF_CODE%3D%271134139%27 |title=Map of Ingrebourne Valley|series=Local Nature Reserves|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 26 October 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1001842.pdf |title= Ingrebourne Marshes citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=26 October 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|url= http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=sssiIndex&query=HYPERLINK%3D%271001842%27|title=Map of Ingrebourne Marshes |series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=26 October 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.londongardensonline.org.uk/gardens-online-record.asp?ID=HVG026|title=Hornchurch Country Park|publisher=London Parks and Gardens Trust|accessdate=26 October 2013}} Sources
