This area was formerly part of the ancient manorial estate of Eccleston. Samuel Taylor VII gave 47 acres of the estate for use as a public park in 1892 which included 3 areas of water, Big Dam, Eccleston Bottom Dam (now Leg o' Mutton Dam) and Little Dam (now covered over). This small dam is managed by St. Helens fishing Club.
