COLLEGE PARK
The park is divided into distinctly different areas, at the eastern side are two enclosed formal gardens with benches, providing a quiet area to sit and relax.
Moving west there is then a large grassed area which is used for ball games.
The southern section of this area contains an extensive childrens play area with swings and slides.
The western edge of the park is home to, the pet area with aviaries containing exotic birds, rabbits and guinea pigs, a bowling green and club house and a hard court sports area.
College park is built on land that was a gift of the Wardens of Winchester College, 1915. Since July 1543 Winchester College
had owned much of the area that was developed into the area now known as North End.
During the early 1900s the area where the park is now was used as allotments for growing vegetables and fruit by local people.
