Originally Fairfield Farm, the park was donated by Isabella Elder in memory of her husband John Elder and his father David Elder. It is a pleasant place away from the hustle and bustle of local industry and traffic. The park has been an important asset to the local community for a long time and in order to maintain decent standards of behaviour, the original by-laws regulating its use forbade anyone to `read or recite any profane ballad or to expose wounds or deformities inducing giving of alms`.
