Located in Monks Orchard beside Cheston Avenue/Parkfields

Parkfields was acquired in 1936 to develop as a public open space in a rapidly growing residential area.

For many years a further area of several acres was held under licence by the family that sold Parkfields to the Council.  While the rest of the park was developed for sport this area gradually developed as a small woodland coppice.

When the land was returned to the Council the coppice was retained and enhances the park which already had a number of mature trees in the grounds.
