Background
History
The park is named after the topographical name of the nearby area; referring to either "bleak hills" or "black hills". Like the origin of Blakesley Hall in Yardley, three Old English words could provide the root of the word "Bleak" one meaning "black", one meaning "to shine", and one meaning "shining, pale, or bleak". The area was first recorded as Blakhilles in 1461.
