Home ground of the local football club
Fetcham Grove is the home ground of Leatherhead Football Club, formed from the merger of two earlier local clubs, one of which had already been playing on this same pitch since the early nineteen-thirties.
A leisure centre built around it
Leatherhead Leisure Centre sits alongside the football ground, with a swimming pool, sports hall, squash courts and outdoor pitches serving the wider Fetcham and Leatherhead area.
Not to be confused with plain Fetcham
A separate, smaller open space simply called Fetcham, with its own playground and tennis courts, sits elsewhere in the village. Fetcham Grove is the larger sports complex closer to Leatherhead station rather than this smaller local green space.
Council
Mole Valley District Council is responsible for planning across Fetcham Grove, as it is for the rest of Fetcham and Dorking.
