Eastrop Park is a public park located in the east of Basingstoke, Hampshire.[1] The park features a large boating lake, a miniature golf course, a café and walking trails.[2][3] The River Loddon flows through the park, feeding into a balancing pond. The pond serves as a habitat for various wildlife, including kingfishers.
The park was opened in 1972. The name Eastrop derives from the Saxon name, meaning 'Eastern Settlement'.[3]
Basingstoke Corn Mill, also known as Penton's Mill, stood on the site in 1873.[4] The modern boating lake is on the site of the former mill pond.[3]
