Hi Ed, I have had a quick search and have found some details on the charitable trust for Ardleigh Millennium Green [A]. They describe that the land is to be used for "INFORMAL RECREATIONAL PLAY". I guess this lines up with the wikipedia article which I was a little bit too selective with my cut and paste - the full line is: "Another requirement of the original sponsors was that the land should not be used for formal sporting and recreation areas, so that no pitches or playground apparatus were to be built." As you are aware the field next to Ardleigh Millenium Green includes a formal sports pitch [B] and this field is not part of the Millenium Green. It looks like the aim was to create a space for everyone, therefore the requirement for no formal sporting and recreation areas were to stop it from becoming another football field of skate park, etc..
