Photographs taken of Park Hill and Heathfields

  • Playing fields laid out for football and cricket
  • Children's playground

Location in New Addington beside Lodge Lane and North Downs Crescent

North Down was the first recreation ground in New Addington, it consisted of a 5.73 acre field plus a children's playground; the land belonged to the adjacent Addington Golf Course.

The Ground was gradually enlarged as areas were purchased and the land was levelled for sports fields.

In 1969 a field was added to the space which had previously been farmland, it was probably farmed from Castle Hill Farm which stood near the site of today's Fire Station.
