The Ground

This is a rectangular area of about 310m by 80m in size.

The main part of the park is a large open area containing two football pitches, a basketball court, adult exercise equipment and a children's playground. These are all well maintained. There is pleasant long wooded area to the north of the ground running alongside Caldecott Road.
