Manor Park was formed from the grounds of three large suburban houses which stood along Carshalton Road, and a fourth in Manor Park Road. The latter, and largest, was called Manor Park House and gave its name to the park. In 1914, Sutton Urban District Council acquired Manor Park House and its grounds. The park was opened by the Chairman of the Urban District Council on 25th May, 1914. This area of wild flowers is clearly very recently sown as it is so colourful. Wildflower meadows tend not to be quite so full of wild flowers after a few years.
