Broomhouse Recreation Area (The Pitches) in the 1960s.

1960

Situated between the Calder Road and the Railway Line, this was the lower part of the Recreation area behind the Health Centre.

There were public football pitches, a Bowling Green, a Pitch and Putt Course and Tennis courts.

John Broadly was the” Parkie” at the Pitch and Putt.
