I like hyde park

quote: well landscaped


The Arboretum in Nottingham

as it's got lots of trees, which means shade, and some kind of bell tower with massive guns on it, and a garden bit, and a lake, and it's about 2 minutes walk from my flat.

Comedy answer:
Jurassic Park- it's an island paradise filled with dinosaurs!


south park

good bye dis for today x


Platt field park

lots of trees, and a big lake, where you can get a rowing boat. Lots of ducks and geese, and football pitches. Perfect for the summer.


Sale Water Park

Nice walks, a lake for swimming/canoeing/speedboating, great restaurant, brilliant nearby pub.


which pub?

I'm from Sale


Maurice Lea Memorial Park

It's an absolute shit hole, but once my mate showed us his willy there when he about 9, and he'd drawn pubes on in felt tip about half way down his shaft. So it will forever have a place in my heart.


Botanic Gardens, Glasgow:

Amazing.
Relatively small
Nice neighbourhood
2 Tropical Greenhouses, one with fish, the other with cool plants that eat stuff
Big well maintained lawn area next to a bit with long grass and weeds and flowers and stuff
A bit with labeled plants like "wheat" and stuff.
A play park
A chronological plants bit, which is cool.
And ice cream van at the entrance.
Next to the river kelvin for paddling experience.

Amazing.


Downside: tends to have many people

playing extreme frisby
doing "one drum" drumming
Spinning those colourful things around
Playing acoustic guitars
Playing with rugby/footballs with no respect for the little space


i can do one better

and provide a pic...

Park, Co. Londonderry.

It's a village at the foot of the Sperrins. It has a 9 hole golf course and I used to get my hair cut in Park when I was a child.


Queens Park

its nice and close to me, I know its not LIKE amazing or anything but considering its location its fantastic!


Kelvingrove Park


boston public garden

they have swan boats and the infamous sodomy fountain - 'nuff said.


Richmond Park!

Massive park with 9 mile perimeter containing woods, rolling bracken covered hillocks, gardens, herds of deer, rabbits, billions of parakeets and Pembroke lodge, where you can sit on the terrace and have a drink whilst looking out over SW London. Has Kingston on one side and Richmond on the other, both with a plethora of places for eating and drinking by the river side. And it's in London! And nobody ever goes there!


i like

Regent Park. it got nice green grass areas, but also a pond and landscaped areas and a rosegarden. and it's not far from my house which is also a bonus.
