Description

Holt Copse and Joel Park is, at 9.3 hectares, the largest and most diverse of the 8 parks managed by Wokingham Town Council. The land has a long history going back to at least the 15th century. As coppice and meadows they were part of the Beaches Manor and later Holt estates. In 1924 the owners transferred some land to the Borough of Wokingham for pleasure gardens. Councillors named this Joel Park after Solomon Joel, a local financier and benefactor.

In 1935 two avenues of trees were planted in Holt Meadows (now part of Joel Park) - a long avenue of green oaks inter-planted with silver birches and a short avenue of red oaks inter-planted with Lombardy poplars. The long avenue is now called Jubilee Avenue and the short avenue, Connaught Avenue.
