The Corporation acquired this site in the 1930s, and in 1939 decided to convert it into a public park. War delayed the completion of this work, and it was formally opened in 1944. Facilities included this bowling green. On the far side of the green can be seen the remains of the motte of the castle which gave Newcastle its name - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4216996.
