Hollydale Open Space (also known as Hollydale, Hollydale Recreation Grounds)

Introduction

The park is formed from the former grounds of Hollydale, an 18th-century house built for the Kirkpatrick family who lived here for four generations. By 1936, the northern and eastern parkland had been extensively developed. However the lake and some woodland around it survived as a Recreation Ground, which remains as the public park today.
