Kennel Lane Recreation Ground
This recreation ground is accessed from Hazel Way , Gatesden Road and Ashwood Park, as well as the public footpath from Bell Lane, beside the school playing fields. There is a football pitch on the upper part of the ground and a children's playground on the other side of a dividing belt of trees. There is a small pond at the bottom of the field, which is part of the surface water drainage system for the area. To the north of the Recreation Ground is an area of woodland, which was originally part of the 'Fetcham Gap'. Footpaths through this woodland lead out to Sherwood Close.
