Bury Park is located one mile north west of Luton town centre on the road to Dunstable. Since the mid 1970s a large Muslim Pakistani community has grown and Bury Park is now the home of a purpose-built mosque.
Bury Park has a large commercial area specialising in fruit, vegetables, and Asian clothing. There is a significant number of restaurants in the area, particularly serving Halal food. The main road through the area has recently undergone significant updating with new tree planting, improvements to the road layout, paving and street furniture.
Kenilworth Road, the home of Luton Town F.C. is also located here.

Famous quotes containing the words bury and/or park:
“It is comforting when one has a sorrow to lie in the warmth of one’s bed and there, abandoning all effort and all resistance, to bury even one’s head under the cover, giving one’s self up to it completely, moaning like branches in the autumn wind. But there is still a better bed, full of divine odors. It is our sweet, our profound, our impenetrable friendship.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Therefore awake! make haste, I say,
And let us, without staying,
All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
—Unknown. Sister, Awake! (L. 9–12)
