In maintaining the health and well-being of the community,
the provision of open spaces is of recognised importance. The
district is well endowed with laid out grounds and playing fields,
where the young may indulge in sport. No less important are the
large parks and the open spaces of the Commons, agricultural land
and the Green Belt, where solitude may be found, as an escape from
the workaday world.
The standard of the gardens has been fully maintained during
the year. Four hard tennis courts have been constructed at
Hoblingwell Wood Sports Ground, and a footpath has been made
from Chipperfield Road to the Pavilion there.
