The nine acre site was purchased by Edmonton Borough Council with the help of a grant of £2,000 from King George's Fields Foundation, from which the playing field gets its name. The Foundation was set up in 1936 following the King's death in order to provide a living memorial to him through funding playing fields for young people. As can be seen from the photograph it is rather featureless. This view is from Delhi Road, while Great Cambridge Road (the A10) is on the far side where the embankment and line of lamp posts can be seen just to the right of the tree.
