Plymouth's Central Park The Story by Chris Robinson

It’s easy to take Central Park for granted, but think about it for a moment. How many inner city parks do you know that undulate like Central Park? Plymouth is a hilly city it’s true, but whereas most large parks are flat, or sloping at best, and are negotiated by means of formal pathways punctuated by the occasional flower bed and a statue of a man on a horse, Central Park is a unique combination of fields, country lanes, hedgerows … and public sports hubs like Home Park, the Life Centre, golf, bowls, tennis and children’s play areas. It has something for everyone and it’s soon to celebrate its centenary.
