Wow,
to
think,
this
park
is
approximately
a
five
minute
drive
from
where
I
work
and,
until
yesterday,
I
knew
nothing
of
its
existence.
It
is
visible
from
the
A41
but
I
always
drive
along
there
and
have
my
eyes
fixed
on
the
road
ahead,
sensibly.
Edgwarebury
Park
is
beautiful.
It
has
a
lot
of
interesting
trees,
which
appear
to
have
been
grouped
together
with
thought
and
design.
It
has
some
gardens
within
the
boundary,
where
one
can
sit
and
cogitate,
read
or
converse.
It
has
paths,
both
hard
and
soft,
along
which
one
can
walk,
push
prams,
run
or
walk
dogs.
It
has
tennis
courts,
which
were
in
use
when
we
visited.
It
is
largely
free
of
litter.
It
is
clearly
well
kept
and
there
was
evidence
of
tree
planting
and
maintenance.
There
is
a
building
close
to
a
well
equipped
playground
and
outdoor
gymnasium.
The
building
houses
ladies,
gents
and
disabled
toilet
facilities,
so
rare
in
this
day
and
age.
It
also
contains
an
equally
rare
refreshments
shop
where
one
can
purchase
drinks
and
snacks.
Edgwarebury
Park
is
not
only
a
breath
of
fresh
air
but
also
a
reminder
of
days
gone
by,
when
things
were
done
properly,
with
thought
and
care.
It
was
a
dull
day
yesterday
with
rain
threatening
but
it
was
still
a
very
pleasant
experience.
I
can
imagine
the
park
being
full
of
people
playing,
walking
and
generally
having
a
good
time
on
a
hot
summer's
day.
The
park
is
not
large
but
it
has
gone
straight
to
the
top
of
my
list
of
favourite
local
parks.
