[4] In all the Willes family held Newbold Comyn for over 400 years, until they sold most of the remaining estate to Leamington Corporation after the end of the Second World War.

The Willes family moved to Honington in South Warwickshire, and sold the mansion house to a subsidiary of AC Lloyd (Builders) in 1964.

[5] The main house, which stood where now the junction of Newbold Terrace East and Fernhill Drive is, was demolished in 1965, leaving only the farm and outbuildings.

The Corporation laid out the leisure park in the 1970s and the land usage has remained the same ever since although it is now run by Warwick District Council.

There used to be an old steam engine on which young people could climb and play, but this had to be removed due to health and safety regulations.

[9] In late 2009 the park briefly made news in the local paper when there were rumoured sightings of a lynx on the golf course.
