Some park memories. These beautiful photos of the park were taken in the spring of 2012 by Chris Taylor. Thanks Chris, for sharing them with us and reminding us how much the park has matured since then.

During the lockdown lots of you took photos in the park of things that gave you a 'lift'.
We put them in a gallery below. Enjoy!
