uThe land for this park was given by Henry Boot builders for the development of the Farmlands Lane estate and some is thought to be the gift of the Grimwood-Taylor family. The wood at the eastern end of the park was created in the year 2000 from trees sponsored by many local people to mark the birth of a baby in 2000. A tree belt was also created on the northern side to buffer the park from the housing estate.
Paths and benches have been kindly donated by local people and the park is a great place to walk dogs. There is a bridleway from Moorway Lane to Dalbury Walk off Oaklands Avenue. This was created was a walking and cycle route but horses use it from time to time. Also this park connects across the Moorway Lane with the Griffe Field Park, which in turn connects to the King George V Playing Fields and Clemsons Park.
More recently a small pond has been built on the south-western side of the park to encourage water birds and other aquatic wildlife. A wooden fence screens it from the path and there are observation slots at various heights.
A Community Orchard has been created in the western field nearest Moorway Lane.
