Teresa Green Traditional Cache

Lammas Park is our local park and is a brilliant place to collect conkers in the autumn. Many of my school events were held here and I meet lots of friends here. If you are with children, I would recommend going to the play areas.  You can also play tennis and 5 a side football if you book the courts.

The park is named after the original use of the land as Lammas land where tenants of the manor could graze their cattle following harvest.

In 1881 c.23 acres were purchased by Ealing Local Board when it was feared that it might be lost as open space; compensation was paid to those who lost their rights. Lammas Park was opened on 1 August 1883 and subsequently extended west to Northfield Lane by arrangement with the Elers Estate, and a lodge was built at the new entrance. By 1907 there were 2 bowling greens, shelters for the bowling club and cricketers, and a 'tea chalet' for those playing tennis and croquet, with 19 lawn tennis courts and 4 croquet lawns by 1911. The park once had a bandstand and over 50 flower beds, mostly removed by 1958. In January 1949 a small War Memorial was erected by the Boy Scouts near the South Lodge entrance. 

The park's designer was Charles Jones, Borough Surveyor.
