A public green space in Ashton for not that long. It was not until the early twentieth century that the park was an official site under the care of the council. Previously it was an unkempt area and (unsurprisingly) rather wet underfoot. Today it has a play area for children and some trees for landscaping, being registered as a village green since 1970.
