Normanton Park — Attraction in England

My local park. Very convenient, and have a variety of sports courts and a play area for youngsters. Not sure why cricket bowling machines have been banned if they are used within the two cricket nets. Probably more risk to the public from batsmen, striking cricket balls over the enclosure.

Green Thyme cafe is a wonderful project, and hold a range of art and craft sessions, as well as activities in Normanton allotment.

Groups of youngsters have made this area a hang out and there is a considerable amount of litter...
