Moneyhole Lane Park is located in Panshanger, Welwyn Garden City. The Friends organisation for the park, are a small but growing group of people who want to see good things happen at the park. We are working hard to make the park a tidy, safe, and most of all a fun and relaxing place to be. This is a local community powered, volunteer driven initiative.

I am fairly new to the Welwyn Garden City area, and visited Money Hole park today, muddy and cold but was great for a walk…the one thing I cannot seem to find out is the origins of the name. Anyone know why it is called “Money Hole”? It seems a strange name to me, must have an interesting explanation 🙂
Hi Peter
Thanks for your comment. Our editors believe it pre-dates the Garden City, but perhaps you could drop a line to Herts Archives via hals.enquiries@hertfordshire.gov.uk
Thanks
I live near Moneyhole Park and am trying to find out if there are any benches in the park where I could meet a friend. I can’t find maps or details of trails.
I’m trying to find who/why/when is behind the intended introduction of car park charges to Moneyhole park/playing fields/wood.
Hi Louise
Thanks for your comment. I’m afraid we can’t help, but have you tried contacting the Council? You can reach them on 0300 123 4040.
Thanks,

This WAS a nice area until it was overbuilt. It was much more fun as a kid in Pre-Moneyhole Park days and prior to the gross overbuilding of the entire area. A lot of people that moved in don’t even appreciate such features as the airfield. We used to play in the old gun turrets and air raid shelters and walk freely. It’s been ruined now.
