Football Pitch - Reade Field

The Reade Field is maintained by the Parish Council and leased from The Greenwich Hospital, via The Royal Hospital School, for a rent of one Holbrook reed per annum.

The Reade Field is a valued recreational facility for all parishioners to enjoy.  There is a full sized football pitch and work is being carried out on a 5-a-side pitch.  Updating the pavilion is the next major project to improve the facilities. New fitness and play equipment was installed earlier in 2021, together with new safety surfaces for all the existing equipment.  Since then some of the play equipment has been upgraded.  In 2025 a new surface was purchased for the basketball court The equipment is inspected annually under the ROSPA safety guidelines.

Tree and wildflower planting continues each year to enhance the woodland area of the Reade Field.  Several picnic benches have been installed around the field for people to enjoy.
