History

20th Century

The house, which was converted to Council offices and later enlarged, was used as Wood Green Town Hall until 1958. An early-18th-century lodge, now called The Mushroom House, and surrounding triangle of land was incorporated into the park and a pavilion was erected by the bowling green before 1935.

The Woodside Park is part of the Fields in Trust historic protection programme and have been protected since July 2012 under the Queen Elizabeth II Fields protection type.
