History
This ground was acquired by the Council in 1889 to serve the growing population of South Croydon. An estimate prepared by the Borough Road Surveyor in 1888 (just prior to the purchase) gave the cost to set out the new "Brighton Road Recreation Ground" as £572 and 2 shillings, but when the ground was opened in 1895 the cost was £2,552.
Local cricket and football matches were played at the ground and on summer evenings a band played in the band stand which was located opposite the end of Wyche Road.
