Tamworth Farm Recreation Ground and Allotments (Merton)
Brief Description
The site for the park was once part of Tamworth Farm and was donated by the Tamworth Trust. Tamworth Farm Recreation Ground opened in 1926 and is still protected by the Trust. The park had a railed and hedged area of planting along the front boundary to London Road, with roses and trees, and there was a bowling green adjacent, no longer in use. New facilities have been laid out since 2004. The park is backed by allotments that are included in the site.
