Enfield is well provided with parks and recreation grounds,
the Council having purchased and devoted to the use of the public
no less than 170 acres of land.
There is a public park in the Ordnance, Green Street and Ponders
End, and Bush Hill Park Wards respectively. The Town
Ward boasts of a beautiful park (23 acres) as well as "Chase Green,"
and the Chase Ward contains the "North Enfield Cricket Ground"
lately enlarged, and a large park of 62 acres known as "Hilly Fields,"
a name which by no means does justice to its natural beauties.
Population.
The number of inhabited houses in the district on June 30th,
1920, was 12,037, and allowing 5.12 inhabitants per house, I estimate
the population on that date as being 61,629.
When the results of the Census are published we shall then
obtain a reliable figure once more.—
