Croxton Park is a 97.3 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south-weest of Croxton Kerrial in Leicestershire.[1][2]

This medieval park has unimproved rough grassland with a scatter of ancient oaks and hawthorns. The breeding birds are diverse, and more than ninety lichen species have been recorded, including many which are uncommon.[3]

A public footpath crosses the site but much of it is private land with no public access.
