Another piece of land was purchased at a cost of £1,750. This consisted of a fifteen-acre site to the northeast of the parklxvii. Most of this site was eventually cleared of all trees and obstacles and is now part of the showfield.

A footpath which ran along the edge of the site was retained as a public right of waylxviii. It was fenced off so that it remains accessible when the park is closed. Beyond this was some land used as allotment gardens. Part of this has since been built on, but most of it remains as
allotments.
