Introduction
This component area refers to a substantial change of use for this site. The local authority took ownership of Down Grange Park in 1965. The house became a public house. The grounds became the Down Grange Sports Centre with a six-lane athletic track, an artificial turf pitch, a cricket wicket, a croquet lawn and several playing fields. The walled kitchen garden is a public garden and wildlife area.
