The first recorded match on the ground was in 1827, when the ground hosted a match between East and West Sussex.[1] The ground held a single first-class match in 1854 when Surrey played Nottinghamshire.[2] In constant use throughout both the 19th and 20th centuries, the ground today is the home venue of Farncombe Cricket Club.[3] and Farncombe Wanderers Cricket Club.

The Broadwater parkrun, a five-kilometre organised run/jog/walk, takes place every Saturday at 9 am in the park.[4]

The lake, at the east edge of the park, is leased by Godalming Angling Society.[5]
