Alexandra Park – Bath. Not many people know about it but it’s lovely. It over looks the city of Bath. The view is amazing.

The south inch at Perth – it’s stunning and the River Tay runs alongside it.

I have to say Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Kent
Does it count as a Park?
Sissinghurst is the magical creation of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson.
It inspired me to create my own ‘white’ garden many years ago

I’d have to say Bute Park in Cardiff

Hartsholme Park, Lincoln is my favourite park that’s local to me. There’s a beautiful lake full of wildlife, including herons, a safe playarea for the chidren, lots of lovely walks, a cafe, green spaces, activities for the children in the holidays…there really is something for everyone, and my daughters and I only live round the corner 🙂

Wollaton Park in Nottinghamshire. Not only do you have the Wollaton Hall museum, the park has an adventure playground, a lived-in lake where you can feed the ducks but best of all, free-roaming reindeer. A few years ago, police were amazed (and a little dubious!) on Christmas Eve to receive a call saying a reindeer was stuck in the nearby hospital subway. Suspecting a Christmas Eve drunken prankster, they checked it out anyway and found on of Wollaton’s reindeer had escaped and was indeed in the subway!

Richmond Park in South West London or Surrey. A vast natural terrain with roaming deer, cycling, fishing, golf. The perfect place to escape the City on a Summer evening. It even has 3 dedicated kiting areas!
Stewart
Central Park, NYC. It’s huge and because of that it has loads of variety. It feels like lots of little parks all joined together… And all right in the middle of the world’s best city (apart from Glasgow obviously).
becci
Heaton Park in Manchester.

I’m gonna have to say fearns field in Cromer. It was a tiny park round the corner from the house we used to live in. There was a football pitch and some swings, slides, seesaws, and roundabouts. A kids park really. But it has so many memories. My kids going from the baby swims to the ‘big’ ones, meeting their mates their and both of them learnt to ride their bikes their.

Baby swings rather! 🙂

I like Bradgate Park in Leicester – it’s where I always go for a walk as I can get there from my house in 30 minutes or so and there are lovely deer there!
