Ravenor Park
Ravenor Park was formerly agricultural land forming part of Ravenor Farm and Costons Farm. Both farms were named after local families. In the 20th century, Greenford gradually transformed from a rural village to a large suburb, including a number of factories. A wave of speculative building followed in the 1920s and 1930s. To preserve some open space, in 1927 Greenford Urban District Council (now Ealing Council) bought a parcel of farmland and turned part of it into a council depot and the rest into a public park. The park opened in October 1928 and was originally known as Costons Farm Recreation Ground, but later changed its name to Ravenor Park. The old farmhouse for Ravenor Farm remained on site until the early 1970s when it became too costly to maintain and was demolished.

This is the fourth of Ealing Borough's parks that I have been through on today's walk, and all of them have had recent investment in sports and exercise equipment.
