History
The park is named after the topographical name of the nearby area; referring to either "bleak hills" or "black hills". Like the origin of Blakesley Hall in Yardley, three Old English words could provide the root of the word "Bleak" - one meaning "black", one meaning "to shine", and one meaning "shining, pale, or bleak".The area was first recorded as Blakhilles in 1461.
