It's ludicrous to say that I visited Burgess Park. Albany Road, walk to Portland Street, Hopwood Road, Gayhurst, and Missenden to Aylesbury Boiler House, Thurlow Street, browsing around to see what been going on with the massive people peeps living in certain conditions. Tony Blair said that things can only get better. It's just a shame how politicians treat people with contempt in deprived and disadvantaged communities. I walked through the new buildings via Westmoreland Road and Walworth Road. Yes, it was a very pleasant experience and productive day. My mission is accomplished.

Yes, i know the old nine yards and how the system operates. I'm just browsing to see if people peeps still living in buildings riddle with asbestos and inadequate heating, for living on the ground floor or above garages. Chances are some might not make it. The facilities have been upgraded throughout Burgess Park and spaces for different activities. I revisited places and locations that give me the opportunity and options if I want to do a project. Why i here today? Sir Alexander Henry Paterson/Patterson. born: 20 Nov 1884- died 7 Nov 1947 Penologist, age 62 London, England. In 1937, Sir Alexander Patterson came to Jamaica from England ๐ฌ๐ง as the chairman of a commission to inquire into and recommend reforms for our penal institutions. Sir Alexander went beyond these terms of reference. He was a great believer in boys' work, and he recommended that, as a preventive measure, the government should establish a club for under privileged Boys in Western Kingston, Jamaica. In 1940, the government provided the funds and requested the YMCA to establish such a club on its behalf, and the "Y" asked the Methodist Church to second the Rev Hugh Braham Sherlock to become the founder - director. The Jones Town Baptist Church, Myers Street, with the late Rev M.E.W Swayers as Pastor and Mr.N Cato as Senior Deacon per-mitted the use of their Hall at a very norminal rental and frequently at serious embarrassment, and the " Kingston Boys Club " was started with a membership of 80 boys, that November. The government provided the land and building and the business communities sector supporting the project.

ย ย ย Read moreA long, rangey park with untold nooks and diverse parts thrown together over the years by the overlapping tides of industry, war, capital, transport and urban planning. The phrase "Underpromise, overdeliver" fits Burgess Offering up a rich cacophony of clashing parts, there is urban nature of a wilder sort than usually permitted in council-controlled inner London. Local authority management of parks tends towards park-as-human-rec blandness and you see elements of this style here. So, yes, maximum signage is favoured here, anything will do, laminated or scraps of paper, just slap a few fonts together and get printing! Legibility or accuracy not important. There is also a central wasteland aspiring to naff deckchairs and tanning appeal but after a heavy session with some filmmakers and their HGV trailers last year, it is mostly exposed earth. You may wish to hurry your step or put your gloves on as you pass thru this featureless flattened grass 'bit' in roughly the geographic middle of the park. It is a heart of nothingness and out of season it is always the bitterest - you are liable to suddenly catch a high wind (see 'featureless' above) but have faith, for the park's tentacles or limbs are far more diverting. So there is a spectrum of offerings in sport, BMX racing is a crazy fun watch if you are lucky to see them, this track proudly produced the Olympic men's silver medallist at the Tokyo games. Architecturally there is futuristic modernity all the way to quaint English conservation buildings, wildness to formality. There is a British dry, cheeky personality but alas British tendencies to primness and po-facedness are also evident; all is here. It is an inconsistent patchwork quilt of contrasts; jumping metaphors I'm seeing in the park's long, narrow snaking form...the Generation Game-conveyor belt?! But it stands out most as - rare in London - a park where nature is allowed to grow (when LB Southwark Council leaves it alone!).

ย ย ย Read moreA Delightful Family Outing at Burgess Park: Enjoying Nature, History, and Recreation
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Burgess Park in London's Borough of Southwark, and it proved to be an excellent destination for a family outing. With its vast green spaces, rich history, and diverse recreational opportunities, Burgess Park truly has something for everyone to enjoy.
Upon arriving at the park, we were immediately struck by its size and beauty. Spanning 56 hectares, the park offered ample space for my children to run around and explore, while I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and scenic surroundings.
We spent some time walking around the park's beautiful lake, which was teeming with a variety of birds and other wildlife. This offered an opportunity to connect with nature and learn about local ecosystems, making our visit not only enjoyable but also educational.
The children particularly loved the playground, which catered to various age groups and offered a range of fun and engaging activities. From swings and slides to climbing equipment and sandpits, the play area was a perfect spot for them to let off steam and engage in imaginative play.
In addition to the natural beauty and recreational offerings, Burgess Park also offered a glimpse into the area's history. We came across listed buildings, heritage projects, and even an old canal route, allowing us to appreciate the park's transformation from an industrial area to a much-loved community space.
Overall, our experience at Burgess Park was truly delightful. The combination of nature, history, and recreational opportunities made for a fun and engaging family outing that we won't soon forget. I highly recommend this park to anyone looking for a memorable day in the...
