History
The park was bequeathed to the Council by Mrs. Pears on the death of her husband, hence the name John Pears Recreation Ground. Mrs Pears, prior to her demise, took great interest in the management and layout of the land. It has been her wish that the land remains as open as possible without formal recreation.
