There is a Community Centre provided for members' use. All occupiers of Deanland Wood are offered membership, but this is voluntary. The Centre is run by a committee of park residents and provides a varied programme of events. Deanland Wood is restricted to people without children or dogs, and is aimed at the "active retired". It therefore follows that everyone has but one aim, to enjoy their retirement. Visiting family are welcomed, and the Park has much to offer them.

Park History

​

RAF Deanland, as it was known in 1943–44, played an important part in the Second World War. As an ALG (Advanced Landing Ground), of which the Park was an integral part, it was a temporary airfield that hosted a Spitfire squadron with a record of some exceptional successes. For instance, it played a large part in the battle with the V1 rocket or "Doodlebug" as it was known. 

 

Deanland was right under the flight path of these death machines that were aimed at London. The third highest scorers in the fighter squadrons were those stationed at Deanland with their Spitfires scoring 185 kills. 

 

Deanland is also reputed to be the first Spitfire squadron to give air cover to the D-Day landings in Normandy. The present main car park and some of the roads on the park were first used by the RAF in 1943. 

We are proud of this history and the role the Park played in World War Two.
