From the Wikipedia article
Manor Park is a public park in the town of Sutton in Greater London. It was created in 1914 on a site in the town centre, opposite the police station. Its grounds include the Sutton War Memorial, which was added in 1921. It is bounded by Throwley Way to the west; Carshalton Road to the south; Manor Park Road to the east, and Greyhound Road to the north. Sutton High Street runs parallel to Throwley Way, fifty yards to the west. In 2010 its new café of straw-bale construction was London's first environmentally friendly building to use this building method.

Background
History
Manor Park occupies the former grounds of four large houses, three in Carshalton Road, and one in Manor Park Road, which was called Manor Park House. This house passed to the then Sutton Urban District Council (SUDC) in 1914, who created the park from its grounds, which had at the time become overgrown. The changeover was achieved without major alteration.
