When the London County Council built Becontree housing estate between 1921 and 1935 it made generous provision for a public park which was eventually opened as Parsloes Park in 1935. The name derives from a 13th century family, recorded as Passelewe, who owned land in the area. It is now managed by Barking and Dagenham Borough Council.
