ALFRED MAJOR RECREATION GROUND |
The Parish Council owns fourteen acres of green space in the middle of Cookham called the Alfred Major Recreation ground. This area was left to the village in the 1940s for recreational purposes. It is now much used by Cookham Dean Football Club and has practise post for general play. It also has a children's play area that can be used by children under 10 years of age, an adult keep fit area and a hard surface Basketball / Netball court. In the summer young people's activities are also organised.

The Parish Council decided to have a hard surface area on the Alfred Major Recreation ground. This was after a consultative questionnaire was made available to all villagers. The hard area was completed in early October and the Basketball posts were installed on the 12th October 1999. These were supplied free through the English Basketball Association in association with the National Lotteries Board. |
