Brookmans Park is a village in the English county of Hertfordshire north of London.
Brookmans Park was named after John Brokeman who had an estate (park) in the 15th century. A second estate, Gobions, was built with a mock medieval gate house Folly Arch, 51.712°, -0.185527°.
The current dormitory village was built in this park, after the railway station was opened in 1926. It was to become a garden city but being in London's Green Belt it was not allowed to grow: the large shopping centre, Bradmore Green, shows this legacy.
The A1000 Great North Road from Potters Bar to Hatfield touches the eastern edge or the village of Brookmans Park.
