==== Oliver Henderson Park ====
Oliver Henderson Park or more commonly known as just the park, is land that was discovered in the initial survey of the estate to be particularly unstable due to potential subsidence so unsuitable to build on, therefore it was decided to turn the land in to a park and green space to be used by the residents of the estate.
The park was named after Oliver Henderson, long standing councillor and leader of the Parks and Open Spaces Committee.
The park had its own manmade lake, to encourage birds and wildlife but many a youngster would swim in it which is not recommended! A children’s play area complete with sandpit was also built as well as tennis courts and a bowling green. Over the years some changes have been added and others alas lost. A hut was built by the lake so that people could hire boats and row around the island this lasted approximately 10 years before being removed leaving only the jetty. The play area has been updated over the years but sadly lost its sand pit. The tennis courts have also been lost, replaced by a car park and a small enclosed football/basketball court.
A skate board park and football/sports building have been built in recent years and are quite popular as is the immaculate lawns of the bowling green - SOURCE
