Alfred Major Recreation Ground

The Parish Council owns 14 acres of green space in the middle of Cookham, called the Alfred Major Recreation Ground. This land was bequeathed to the village in the 1940s for the recreation and enjoyment of the community.

The Ground is regularly used by Cookham Dean Football Club for their matches. The Children’s Play Area has various items of equipment including several for under 5’s.

A picnic bench has recently been added. In the summer, the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead organize holiday activities for young people. We have a hard surface Basketball/Netball Court and an Adult Keep Fit Area, incorporating a variety of apparatus to improve fitness.

In 2012 the Parish Council installed a Half-Pipe Skate Ramp and an All Weather Cricket Wicket. Bookings can be made for the wicket by Schools Clubs or other organisations. Please contact the Parish Office for details.

The Alfred Major Recreation Ground can be accessed via High Road and Hillcrest Avenue.
