History

This small open space was given to the Corporation in 1936 by the local Developer Richard Costain Ltd. as a play space for younger children.  The space was given as a memorial to William Percy Costain who was predominantly connected with the development of Selsdon as a residential district.  

The area had previously been open space and the 1933 map shows a miniature golf course, with a pavilion and a tennis courts on the site.
