The recreation ground in Langdon Hills has been established
for over 50 years. Main access is from New Avenue where a car park is provided. Set in 15.5 acres, the 'rec', as it is known locally, has tennis courts, football pitches, a cricket square and an enclosed children's play area. In the late 1960s a new changing pavilion facility was built to replace the original wooden structure that once stood on higher ground. In the 1970s Laindon Cricket Club played their home matches here, and in recent times Westley Cricket Club have used the facilities for their Sunday fixtures. It is currently used by Basildon and Pitsea Cricket Club. A feature of the ground for many years was the paddling pool and fountain. Its construction date is unknown though there is written evidence of its existence as far back as 1956. It was later filled in and grassed over. Text written 2005 with revisions 2005-2007.
