This relatively new park site, which was created as a result of gravel attraction. The extracted gravel was used to build the embankment for the new bridge linking Bowthorpe with Colney. As result of the gravel extraction two ponds where created, which from the air look like a butterfly. A network of paths forms a circular walk around the site, which will take you to the car park at Chapel Break Road and then back to Bowthorpe Marsh. This is a site worth exploring, with level, surfaced paths suitable for wheel chairs and prams. part of the larger Earlham Millennium Green, Earlham & Bowthorpe Marsh & Bowthorpe Southern Park project.
