Hollydale Recreation Ground is formed from the former grounds of Hollydale, an 18th century house. The local council bought some of the land and mansion in 1933, and the house was demolished at this time. By 1936, the northern and eastern parkland had been extensively developed for housing, but the lake and some woodland around it survived and forms the recreation ground seen today.
