The Recreation Ground, Stamford, dates back to a parliamentary act of March 1871, a Bill passed to enclose Stamford’s open fields, which included the creation of The Recreation Ground, some 8 acres in size. In 1876 the Stamford Mercury said that ‘the site is at the back of North Street, a locality which will render the Recreation Ground useless to the respectable portion of the community and leaves its enjoyment exclusively to those who are not particular about their associations’. The present park-like layout dates to 1909.
