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. The houses in the distance here are in Portland Avenue and beyond can be seen the gasholders at Motspur Park next to Sir Joseph Hood Wood.
