More to come<br /><br />Damo - does it get used or does its shortness mean it's not thrilling enough?<br /><br />Arabella - that sounds fab. Andrew Wilson made some interesting remarks re the provision within parks at the seminar I went to - more to come on that<br /><br />EG - so glad the book arrived safely :)<br /><br />Monica and Helen - thanks for being such great supporters of OOTS :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-66134794553283254712010-08-01T17:18:59.434+01:002010-08-01T17:18:59.434+01:00Veep, I've been so out of circulation for the ...Veep, I've been so out of circulation for the past few months due to the double whammy of school and marathon training, I had no idea you were running an OOTS Love Parks Week. I love parks! Here's a belated park post from a couple of years ago... one of my favourite Toronto gardeny spaces:<br /><br />http://torontogardens.blogspot.com/2008/09/rosetta-mcclain-gardens.htmlHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527649631254016576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-87239212772446793492010-08-01T05:21:26.112+01:002010-08-01T05:21:26.112+01:00Ooh!

Even with the best coastline and beaches in the world on our doorstep Singleton had enough charms to lure people away from them.<br /><br />Everything a park should be, large, loads of different areas - a small lake, a botanical gardens, a stone circle, another formally planted park inside, a Swiss Chalet, beautiful trees giving fruit to a fab collection of conkers, and a dog rescue centre where kids could borrow a dog for a day and take it out in the park. (The latter is no longer available probably due to small kids losing too many dogs.)Arabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-37937925835899875352010-07-28T19:52:39.031+01:002010-07-28T19:52:39.031+01:00Your park sounds very nice, we're out in the s...Your park sounds very nice, we're out in the sticks a bit but do have a fenced off area with swings, slide etc. A new death slide has been installed for the older children at great expense, some grant or other, problem is it's only 15 foot long, oh well you can't have it all!Damohttp://www.twochancesvegplot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-69392887555990838392010-07-28T11:06:05.441+01:002010-07-28T11:06:05.441+01:00Lovely picture.

Yes we have lots of green but mostly we have to stick to footpaths. These are often full of cow pats! In most areas any common ground has long been fenced in and farmed. We have a few small playing fields with a swing or two but they are often smaller than a football pitch. As gardens get smaller there is less and less room for children to run in, so I do hope that your parks survive the recession.<br /><br />Best wishes SylviaSylvia (England)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658826538568918452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-15628052539857083162010-07-28T09:16:27.905+01:002010-07-28T09:16:27.905+01:00Hi VP - I had NO idea it was Love Parks Week, so t...Hi VP - I had NO idea it was Love Parks Week, so thanks for that! Your park looks nice - and very similar to our Queen's Park. We don't have a sensory garden (sadly) but there is a minature train that tootles round the small lake instead!<br /><br />Chesterfield has lots of Parks and my school (Parkside ...because it's next to Queen's Park!)has named its Houses after 3 of the Parks - Somersall, Linacre and Holmebrook. We are well blessed in good Parkage! :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.com
