Wildlife
The natural setting of Stockley Park has attracted many varieties of wildlife over the years with constant tracking to ensure the safe status of our wildlife and provision of habitats. The Park’s variety of habitats attracts species including heron, hedgehogs, stag beetles, newts and geese.

History
Stockley Park was formally opened by HRH, the Prince of Wales on 6 June 1986, making it the oldest business park in the UK. The Park was the brainchild of Sir Stuart Lipton who wanted to provide the local community with space for recreation as well as business prosperity.
Before the development of Stockley Park the area was used for gravel extraction for most of the twentieth century but there is evidence that the area was being used 6,000 years ago. Archaeological excavations found an axe from the Bronze Age, suggesting a burial ground and settlement had been close to Stockley Park.

Sustainability
Stockley Park is committed to the principles of environmental protection and sustainable development with the aim of reducing its environmental impact.
The Park is designed to provide a sustainable offering to all occupiers.

“I love working at Stockley Park as the landscape is so tranquil and majestic, especially in the winter months.”
