Alexandra Park was opened as a public park in 1928, laid out on land conveyed to Harrow-on-the-Hill Urban District Council by the executors of Cllr. A B Champniss. It was formerly part of the Paddocks Pleasure Grounds recreated in 1912 from Grove Farm. Alexandra Park was named after Queen Alexandra, wife of King Edward VIIth, who frequently visited the area. This is at the northern end of the park, looking towards the exit onto Park Lane.
