A small residential district of Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire, Park lies a mile (1.6 km) northeast of the town centre and is sometimes regarded as being part of Kildrum. Developed on part of the policies of Cumbernauld House (Cumbernauld Park), this is a mixed public and private housing development.
The Cumbernauld Development Corporation (CDC) created its first housing development 1958-59 and these comprised thirty-eight unusual single-storey Swedish timber houses, together with widely-separated and now rather austere maisonette blocks all completed by 1961. These developments provided accommodation for workers at the Burroughs factory at Wardpark (the first major employer attracted to the town) as well as the CDC's own employees. Another group of houses was built for the Keystone Housing Society in the late 1960s. Owner-occupation was also encouraged at Park, with land offered for private development and bungalows sold to their tenants. The first private housing was completed in 1964 and building continued into the early 1970s, with some CDC architects designing their own homes here.
