Walton Dam was built in the 18th century to provide a water supply for Walton Manor Corn Mill. The site was bought by Robinson’s in 1899, as a source of water for their cotton wool production. Later it provided an area for sporting and leisure activities for staff. Chesterfield Swimming Club also held events there.

Queen's Park was opened in 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. In its early days, the Park was a popular venue for rallies and demonstrations. When the Derbyshire Miners' Associatiion held their rally here at the end of the 1890s it had a festive appeal with swingboats, roundabouts and coconut shies. The Park has been restored, with a café, lake and miniature railway, as well as playing facilities for younger visitors. There is also a bandstand - sit and listen to a local brass band playing on some Sunday afternoons during the summer.

The pond was constructed in 1972 by Mr McGregor who ran his own civil engineering company. He dug the pond out to construct a wildlife sanctuary especially for his employees to enjoy.

On the outskirts of Chesterfield, a beautiful lake, which is home to ducks, swans, coots and Canadian geese, with fishing sites around it.

Walton Dam, part of the Hipper Valley Trail linking Somersall Park with Queens Park & Chesterfield Town Centre.

Nice easy going walk around the lake from the cafe. Lots of wildlife to see and a very pleasant environment.
