A recreation ground which is first depicted on the 1981 OS map but which is probably contemporary with the latest phase of building of the estate in the 1960s. Prior to this the land was agricultural having the character of enclosed strip fields, probably derived from medieval open fields. The northern part of the road 'Field View' and the boundary of the timber yard fossilise the line of an enclosed strip. The footpath southwards from the playground to Whitehill Road is marked on the 1st Edition OS map of 1855, originally leading to Whitehill Farm. Legibility of the former landscape is fragmentary due to this.
