Grange Park is a suburban part in the London Borough of Enfield, Greater London in United Kingdom. It is served by Grange Park railway station. Grange Park is located between Enfield Town to the north, Bush Hill to the east, Southgate and World's End to the west, and Winchmore Hill to the south. The area was largely developed in the early 20th century on the site of Enfield Old Park.

In addition to housing, Grange Park has a retail and commercial area around The Grangeway, which includes the railway station and a public house, the Gryphon. There are two schools: Grange Park Primary School and Grange Park Preparatory School. The area has two churches: St. Peter's Church of England and Grange Park Methodist Church (The Church in the Orchard). An annual Boxing Day Tug of War takes place.[1]
