Clarence Park, Bury — Attraction in Bury

I very much like the 'life' at Clarence Park. People go there; families, the elderly, dog-walkers, couples, and others on their own. I suppose all the play equipment in the play area is a bit tired now but it's solid and suitable for kids of all ages. Lots of space and beautiful surroundings of really, really tall trees and greenery. Beyond the park there's also a Lido, and then a skate park to the side of that (with compulsory broken glass, graffiti, and litter .....but you know the kids still have a blast) And then extensive woodland with lots of well defined trails and paths to be explored.
