Peel Park was the home of the Gladesville Ravens Sport club. According to the history at http://www.gladesvilleravens.com/home/club-history/:
Ravens has been a predominant force in community sport in the Gladesville-Hunters Hill-Ryde area for all of its existence. In 1960 the Founders created a Social Club to support soccer activities managed by Christ Church Gladesville. Within a few months they had negotiated with the Pastor for total control of the sport, and in 1961 entered the Gladesville-Hornsby Association competitions. There was immediate success and membership grew. A home ground was required – they approached Ryde Council for a lease to develop land adjoining Stanbury Street.
It took many working bees to transform gullies full of blackberries into a level playing field, named eventually Peel Park after Peel’s Dairy. It was ready for play in the 1964 season.
The original lease on the Peel Park ground was relinquished to Ryde Council. A new canteen block appeared, and park maintenance working bees disappeared. In 1988 baseball and T-ball were added to the program, and suddenly Peel Park became three small baseball diamonds for the summer.
Currently Peel Park has an off-leash dog area, it has a recycling station, it has a play ground and it has a soccer field.
