Burgess Park

[jimbo1964]

I ride through Burgess Park every day on my commute. Up until a couple of years ago it was a desolate, intimidating, bleak place. The recent transformation has been amazing. The extended lake, bmx track, landscaping and wild flower meadows all over the place has made it a great environment. I really look forward to riding through it now. I recommend a trip.

I agree. It's lovely now.

They got a huge amount of funding to make the tranformation. They won a (publicly voted) park competition.

Chumleigh Gardens, in the middle is a nice little garden. The cafe has a nice outdoor space that is a pleasant place to while away time while the kid play on the zip wire, slide etc.

But now it's great, my kids love the BMX track

Yes, the little garden is really sweet, and the cafe is OK too.
