[1] Falinge Hall and grounds were built in the late 18th century and offered to the Corporation in 1894 for £3,628 in order to turn it into a public park.

The new park was designed by architect Thomas Hayton Mawson and opened to the public in 1906.

The remains of Falinge Hall are the main structures in the park and are located in the central area.

The southern half of the park is dominated by sweeping lawns while the northern part is home to formal gardens and a pond.

Facilities include a bandstand, a children's play area and bowling greens.
