Largely as a result of the efforts of the much-loved rector, Mr Kelsall, the land adjacent to Whitefield Road was preserved as a War memorial recreation ground in April 1920. The ground was bought for £850, the money having been raised by public subscription. Mr Matterson, a Bournemouth chemist who lived in Fernhill, bought the rough ground to the north and handed it over for use as bowling greens and tennis courts.
