It's a sign of changing demand for facilities but the grass on the old bowling green now grows roughly where there was once a fine green sward. In 2006 the local council wanted to build a splash park on this site ready to celebrate the park's centenary in 2007 but were unsuccessful with their application for competitive lottery funding.
