Blackshots is the area around the Blackshots recreation ground and leisure centre on the south side of Grays. The housing is mostly 1950s and 60s council-built stock, some of it now privately owned. The recreation ground is a genuine asset, with playing fields, a running track, and the leisure centre. It sits between Grays and the river, close enough to the station to walk. Families use the sports facilities and the area has a slightly more settled feel than central Grays.
