Inventory Site Record

Stonegrove Park opened in May 1934 and is a small irregularly shaped public park between the main road and residential streets. Development in the area took place during the 1920s although by the early C19th some houses had been built along Stone Grove, including Stone Grove House. The park has a circular boating pond, now drained and weed-filled, in the middle of a grassy area with various deciduous trees. On the southern side are tennis courts, small formal beds and two playgrounds. There is a perimeter path with several benches, having cast-iron supports and arm-rests in the shape of lion heads dated c.1934. Adjoining the park is the rear elevation of Days Almshouses with a grass terrace and evergreen planting.
