Much of Manor Park Recreation Ground consists of playing fields, surrounded by the remains of old hedgerows, indicating their past agricultural use. In 1839 they were shown as arable fields. One of the old hedgerows here is colourful with spring hawthorn blossom. The houses beyond are in Portland Avenue.
