Meadowbank is a [[park]] on the north side of the [[Pipp Brook]]. In medieval times, it was part of the lordship lands and later became part of the [[Denbies]] estate. By the start of the 20th century, it was the grounds of large private house (also called "Meadowbank"). The house and grounds were purchased by Dorking UDC in 1926, with the intention of building 150 council houses, however owing to financial constraints, the Council instead decided to sell the western third for development. The Parkway estate was completed in 1935.<ref name=Jackson_1991_pp100-102/>

The park was landscaped in the decade before World War II and included the Pippbrook Mill [[mill pond]], which was given to the town in 1934. From 1954, Meadowbank became the permanent home of [[Dorking F.C.|Dorking Football Club]] until 2014.<ref name=DFC_Meadowbank/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://combinedcounties.pitchero.com/from-dorking-fc-35189?external_domain=combinedcounties.pitchero.com |title=From Dorking FC |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=16 February 2017 |publisher=Combined Counties Football League |access-date=28 December 2020 |archive-date=2 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210102102022/https://combinedcounties.pitchero.com/from-dorking-fc-35189?external_domain=combinedcounties.pitchero.com |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Dorking Wanderers F.C.]] moved to the refurbished ground in 2018.<ref>{{cite news |title=Return to Meadowbank |date=Autumn 2018 |work=[[Groundtastic]] |pages=28–33}}</ref>
