Cricket ground in the centre with football field to the left. The park was created from part of the parkland attached to Riddings House. The Cricket Club has played on this site since 1847, while it was still privately held by the Oakes family, making it probably the oldest cricket club in Derbyshire. The land was sold by the Oakes family to Amber Valley Council in 1981.
