This is the view looking from the bottom of the hill across the cricket pitch towards the top of the hill. Image taken Jan 2010. Every time it snows crowds of people come from the surrounding private housing estates that surround 'The Rec' to sledge and have fun in the snow. The cricket pitch as you can see is respected and it's fence remains in place all year and it's rarely encroached upon. The Rec has a disused tarmac tennis court with basket ball hoops, a football pitch and an enclosed children's playground. The cricket pitch is used by Basildon and Pitsea Cricket Club and Westleigh Heights Cricket Club.
