What could be more wonderful on a pleasant afternoon than to go down to your nearest park and take a stroll with a loved one, kick a ball around with some friends or read a book under a quiet tree. I am lucky enough to have several parks in my area and during the day they are usually very nice parks to be in. As the world becomes more and more developed we lose more and more park space to grey sprawling jungles. Im not against progress and urbanisation after all we all need places to live, i just hope that as the population grows we can somehow keep the large majorities of our natural spaces. Unfortunately i dont think this will be the ...  Read the complete review

The nearest park to me is Hyde Park, or Woodhouse Moor. Its not that large a park, in fact you can walk through it in about 5 minutes, but it is very pretty and its nice to have a green space so close in a big city - Leeds. The nicest thing about it is the tree covered walk through the middle of it, its a good piece of landscaping on the part of whoever planted them, and is lovely in winter, especially when its all frosty. Theres a skate park which is used every day by local skaters and bmxers. I think this is a great facility as it keeps all the kids off the playground so the smaller kids can have their own space in the ...  Read the complete review

Most towns and cities are blessed with pars i some form or other so I thought I would write about a couple of my favourite ones. Abingdon Park in Northampton is my favourite in my home town, a nice large tree lined park close to the town centre it has some lovely large oak trees withing its grounds and is a nice place to relax on a summers day, thre are plenty of shops near by the pick up drinks and it is also nice to cycle through, it has some nice large grass areas for kids to play as well as a play area. The only downside is that it has been victim to a bit of vandalism in the past and is probably not somewhere I would go at night as there are blokes cruising and the .  Read the complete review

British parks a very different depending on where you are. I have been to some gorgeous and well kept parks up and down the country. Many of them are used for some sort of sport. I like to visit different parks to take my dog walking. Its nice to go to a different place now and again just to see what is out there and how well kept and litter free the parks are. The parks near my house are usually full of litter and young teenagers drinker cider on the park bench. This can be very intimidating for a young woman on her own with a small dog. The teenagers are very noisy. The police are aware that they are there and do try to move them on, however they ...  Read the complete review

The most wonderful thing about the UK is the vast expanse of greenness as soon as spring comes. a few years ago I was returning from a holiday in China, I think i flew home around april time. It was absolutely stunning flying in over England. The vibrant colours are so different from a lot of other countries, where over the summer months many of these turn an orangey colour. Obviously alot of the green I saw from the plane came from the fields. But the parks really help to contribute to the wonderful colours that can be experienced. Living in Cambridgeshire there is actually quite a lot fo park land around. Near the town centre there is Newnham, which has a large area ..  Read the complete review
