"OUR PARK"
At the back of our property is a park. It has a children's playground at one end and is well used. There are a couple of pre-schools nearby and they use the park for the children's activities. It is also used for ball games and dog walking. We are lucky as we have a gate in the back fence that leads straight into the park.
