This 10ha of common land is named after Edward Parker who farmed it and was a cook at Trinity College who owned the land before 1613. It is now regarded as the birthplace of the rules of Association Football.
In 1838, a feast for 15,000 guests was held on Parker's Piece to celebrate the coronation of Queen Victoria
