Goodmayes Park
Goodmayes park was designed by Mr A Cameron Corbett MP. The park was presented to the town of Ilford when opened by Mr Corbett on 21st July 1905.
Mr Corbett was the principal developer in Ilford during 1911 who was in association with a local contractor Robert Stroud.
Goodmayes iron entrance gates were made by Hill and Smith in Brierly Hill.
In 1921 London County council had started working on the Becontree Housing Estate, which surrounds the park.
The site of the wildflower meadow in Goodmayes Park was formerly an unused concrete area. In early 2006 the concrete was broken up and most was removed from the site. The sandy gravel, which was unearthed from beneath the concrted, provide the perfect conditions for wildflowers. A mixture of wildflower seeds were scattered over the area and left to grow.
