This area is a complete waste of money. Apart from the enclosed 'Football Pitch'* - which kids can't use 'cos it's always locked - there hasn't been anything created for the kids. It's just a landscaped mess imo that is fast becoming a doggie toilet.
Oh!! Sorry, my mistake, theres a couple of picnic benches to vandalise.
*If it is possible to call it such. I watched for a number of days as the workmen went about 'levelling' the area. It's awful!! Slopes in at least two directions, grass is sparse, no goalposts and it ain't even marked out the last I saw! Pointless operation.
So I have to agree Neil - the money would have been better off being directed to other parks in the borough.
