Stone Recreation Ground

A well-maintained recreation area with open green space, a playground, football pitches, basketball court, and a popular cafe (Lizzies). The park is suitable for families, children, and dog walkers, providing a pleasant environment for various outdoor activities. The area is regularly used for local events, sports, and casual leisure. There are restrooms, seating areas, and bins available. Some parts of the park are under reconstruction, and certain areas (specifically pitches) have issues with maintenance and drainage at times. Dogs are welcome and regularly walked here. Security gates are present around the children’s play area.
