A peaceful haven for relaxation that is just a short
distance from the bustle of central Stratford. Whether you want to
relax, or play sport, Stratford Park it will more than meet your
needs.
Stratford Park formally known as West Ham Lane Recreation Ground
was opened in stages between 1899 and 1912.
The section of the park, which is next to Whalebone Lane, was
formerly part of the grounds of a grand house named 'Senables' or
'Sanables', which had belonged to the Archdeacon of Essex from the
15th century to the 18th century. By the second half of the 19th
century, the house had gone but the estate was still in the
possession of the Archdeacon and included land and houses on the
western side of West Ham Lane. The freehold was sold to West Ham
Council in 1899.
