	Friends of Croydon Road Recreation Ground - History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Croydon Road Recreation Ground, together with that at Alexandra Road, now in Penge, was purchased by the Beckenham Local Board to provide public open spaces which had been lacking since the loss of the Fair Field for housing in the 1870s.
		The shallow oval depression near the entrance, sometimes referred to as the Hippodrome, was flooded in winter and used as a skating rink.
		Perhaps the proudest occasion the Recreation Ground was to witness was in 1935 when the Lord Mayor of London drove into the park in his ceremonial coach to present a Charter of Incorporation as a borough to Beckenham on behalf of H.M. The King.

		The recreation ground was was known to the local populace as the "Dust Hole" or "The Dell" and it still exists today largely unchanged.
		The ground had been built some years earlier on the site of Selhurst Wood, the remaining part of which is still visible on the map.
		Following the demise of Croydon Common, the Railway leased the ground to Crystal Palace F.C. and the club played there from 1918 until the newly built Selhurst Park was ready in 1924.

	History Section - Parks and Open Spaces (Wandle Park)
		Wandle Park is amongst the oldest public open spaces in Croydon and like many parks of its time resulted from the Industrial Revolution and the awareness of the need for recreation in the increasingly industrial town.
		The land shall be forever dedicated and used as an ornamental pleasure ground and place of recreation for the inhabitants of the Borough of Croydon and for no other purpose whatsoever and shall forever with the said intended pathway be maintained in good and neat order and condition...
		The water table had dropped since the lake was originally dug and the development of Croydon altered the rate at which water flowed off the land and into the river, so although the amount of water was the same it entered the river rapidly and then the level quickly dropped.

	Focus 1999 Autumn
		Road traffic increasing to fill the road space made available by Tramlink will mean that there will be increases in both pollution and energy consumption as a result of the opening of the system.
		Croydon is in fact a success story and it is right that time should be taken to keep it successful as all around us systems and modes of living change.
		Croydon Council is doing this in response to the 1998 Government White Paper on The Future of Transport and its report on “Breaking the Logjam” in December 1998.

		All our members in Shaftesbury Road (cul-de-sac) support redevelopment but are opposed to their road being used, firstly by construction traffic then by visitors and staff going in and out of the car park.
		The road is full with commuter parking by 8am which would require parents to disembark children in the middle of the unmade road or in fast Kings Hall Road.
		Croydon Council say they remain committed to it and that they intend to progress it via their UDP inquiry this autumn.

	Croydon Road Recreation Ground, Beckenham, c. 1900
		As Beckenham turned from village to town, the recreational needs of the population changed.
		The traditional rural pastimes of cricket and racing became difficult as more land was covered by houses and it became necessary to set aside designated places for leisure activities.
		Recreation grounds suited a variety of purposes and the one in Croydon Road opened in 1891 complete with bandstand and this ornate water fountain.

	Press Release: New Croydon parks policy is Christmas gift to cyclists [Croydon Cycling Campaign]
		Their Treasurer, Liz Mincer, is a mother of three budding cyclists and the brains behind Croydon's first ever Car Free Day festival earlier this year.
		When surfing Croydon Council's website recently, she found out that the "No Cycling" signs at the park gates no longer mean that cyclists have to turn back.
		Instead, Council Enforcement Officers and Park Rangers will now use their discretion in enforcing the "no cycling" bylaw as long as cyclists are not endangering other park users or damaging the park.
