South Norwood Recreation Ground
Park in the London Borough of Croydon, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Norwood Recreation Ground is a park located in South Norwood in the London Borough of Croydon. In 1889, Croydon Corporation acquired the land and the borough surveyor estimated that it would cost just over £1,300 to lay out. Over a quarter of the projected cost was to install land drainage, which indicates that the site was quite wet.[1] The recreation ground includes a sports area, football pitches, tennis court, floodlit courts, bowling green with pavilion and a playground.
