The park is situated on land historically associated with the Salt Hill area, once known as a stopping point on the road to Windsor.
The name 'Salt Hill' derives from the 'Montem' procession, a centuries-old tradition where Eton College students collected money from travelers on the Great West Road.
It features a specific 'Green Flag' status, an international award recognizing well-managed parks and green spaces.
The park contains a modern skate park facility that replaced older ramps to accommodate current skating and BMX standards.
The layout includes a designated water-play splash pad area, which is highly popular with families during warmer months.
Salt Hill Park is a primary public green space in Slough, featuring expansive lawns, mature trees, and formal landscaping. The site houses multiple tennis courts and a dedicated skate park designed for urban sports. A local cafe serves as a central hub for visitors, providing refreshments on-site. The park is equipped with children’s play areas, including climbing frames and swing sets. Paths wind throughout the grounds, facilitating walking and jogging routes. The park is maintained by the Slough Borough Council as a community leisure facility. It serves as a significant recreational resource for the local urban population, balancing active sports areas with quiet garden sections.
