NEHL - South Moor's Memorial Park, from its opening in 1920, featured two bowling greens and a tennis court for the betterment of local residents. The land was provided by the South Moor Colliery Company, and beared the cost of the park not exceeding £3500. It cost £4600 altogether covering 16 1/2 acres.

Within its first year, a number of colliery bands also performed concerts here from Annfield Plain and West Stanley.

The grounds were situated in the north east of the park alongside a putting green. The most westerly bowling green has been removed in favour of enclosed courts.
