South Norwood Recreation Ground, Public park in South Norwood, United Kingdom
South Norwood Recreation Ground spans 14 acres of green space with multiple sports facilities, including football pitches, tennis courts, and a bowling green.
The Croydon Corporation purchased the land in 1889, investing over £1,300 in the initial development with substantial focus on drainage systems.
The recreation ground functions as a central gathering space for local residents who participate in various sports activities and community events throughout the year.
The park maintains regular hours, opening at 8 AM on weekdays and 9 AM on weekends, with entrances located on Selhurst Road, Tennison Road, and Cargreen Road.
Several original trees from the park's 19th-century establishment continue to grow within the grounds, connecting present-day visitors to its Victorian origins.
