Welcome to
Stanmore Recreation Ground
Welcome to Stanmore Recreation Ground, Harrow
Stanmore Recreation Ground is located north of Coverdale Close, Stanmore with entrances on Stanmore Hill and Dennis Lane. It extends to 2.63 hectares providing one senior football pitch, one bowls green (Stanmore Bowls Club), changing facilities, café, children’s nursery, children’s play area, and a car park. The changing facilities, café and nursery.
The recreation ground is part of the estate of Stanmore Hall originally built in the 18th century by the Duke of Chandos who owned the Canons estate. Reference to OS County Series maps, scale: 6inches to 1mile, for 1868-1877 and 1897, show field boundaries much as they are today surrounding the Recreation Ground. Each of these maps also show Stanmore Hall Farm on both sides of Dennis Lane with farm buildings located where Hall Farm Close stands today, off Dennis Lane. It seems therefore the land now forming Stanmore Recreation Ground was originally agricultural land with similar boundaries to the present day, and formed part of Stanmore Hall Farm and therefore the Stanmore Hall Estate, at some point. There are therefore strong associations Stanmore Recreation Ground is located in Stanmore.
The park has open space with football and bowls facilities. There is also a nursery in the park called Little Avanti Day Nursery.
