Public park contemporary with the surrounding housing estate. It is first depicted on the 1937 OS plan. The 1st edition OS map of 1854 shows a gravel pit. This is supplanted by the 'Gravel Plantation' woodland at the end of the 19th century. Prior to this, the land was agricultural comprising fields enclosed by parliamentary award from Wheatley Common. Legibility of the former character is fragmentary as part of the tree planting remains at the western end of the park.
