The Recreation Ground is one of Bath’s most important open spaces, set over 6.2 hectares (15.5 acres) within the very centre of Bath.  It has been used by Bath & North East Somerset and the former Bath City Council and Corporation as a base for a wide variety of sporting and recreational uses since it was acquired in 1956. Activities and users include premiership rugby, county cricket, many activities with Bath Sports & Leisure Centre, a number of local sports, community groups, concerts (most recently Westlife, Simply Red, Jamie Cullum), charity events and much more.
