was given as a dedicated War Memorial in memory of the residents of Burpham who were killed on active service during the Second World War. Adjoining land was developed and incorporated in the 1990s, including a car park. The park won Green Flag Awards in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2014 and 2015, in recognition of its being "an excellent example of a community park as it addresses the needs and wishes of the local community and current users". The multi-use pavilion is home to a local nursery school, and provides changing and other facilities for the sports undertaken in the park. There are playgrounds for all ages, including a separate toddler area and a basketball court for the teenagers. Sports facilities include: a cricket pitch (plus practice nets); two 11-a-side and two (junior) 7-a-side football pitches; two pétanque courts; lawn bowls; and a floodlit artificial pitch providing either three tennis courts or two 5-a-side football pitches. The Park is the home ground of Burpham Football Club, who play in the Premier Division of the Surrey Elite Intermediate League. The Green Man The Green Man was a former coaching inn on the original A3 route from Guildford to London; a public house had been on the site for more than 400 years. The Green Man had been a 'Harvester' restaurant since 1984, but was sold for redevelopment early in 2006. A proposal that the former pub be demolished and replaced by an Aldi supermarket and residential dwellings was opposed by local residents. However, the opposition was unsuccessful, and after Aldi removed the roofing tiles, leaving the building vulnerable to weather damage, demolition took place in December 2008. (Aldi had previously undertaken to not demolish the building until their planning application had been approved.) Opposition by local residents continued, with the Residents' Association still campaigning for a public house on the site rather than a supermarket. Recently just under 90% of respondents to Aldi's latest planning application opposed the scheme. A majority of councillors, in a vote of 15 to five, agreed with the borough council's planning officer's recommendation to move forward with the store. Construction of the new Aldi supermarket commenced early 2015 and the new store opened on 5 November 2015. Collisions on the A3 Several collisions per year occur on the section of the A3 dual carriage way that runs by the Burpham junction being a London and M25 south-west
