Looking over Chesham from Milton Road (on the hill), part of Pond Park

Pond Park (originally called North Chesham) is an area of Chesham (where the 2011 Census population was included) in Buckinghamshire, England, built on the hills to the north of the town starting in 1891.

Churches

The first church in Pond Park met at Friendship Hall and was a branch of the Congregational Church in Chesham. It was replaced by Pond Park Community Hall, where services were held for a short time. Later Hivings Free Church was built.

An Anglican congregation also met at William Durrant's School.

Recreation Grounds

Pond Park has a number of recreation grounds, and a small parade of shops. Little Spring Primary School, based in the area, was formed in September 2002 from an amalgamation of Greenway Infant School and the William Durrant School (formerly an 8–12 school).[1] The school has approximately 200 pupils aged between 4 and 11 years.[2] The school was named after William J Durrant of Chesham who died in 1954.
