| Description |
In Eastside, these are the Park Street Gardens. Looks nice with the fallen leaves all over the grass. There are grave stones from a former church yard here. Don't know if there are any bodies burried here anymore though. This park has a lot of history. It dates back to an old game area used by royalty. Deer was hunted in this vast park by the monarchy however the land was systematically sold to landowners which was developed expanding the city. In Victorian times this park would be twice as big and be connected to the church yard of St Bartholomew Church which was demolished at the creation of Masshouse Circus in the 1960s. Some of the burial stones from graves and tombs remain in the park linking it to its religious past. Recently, plans to create the first park within the city centre for 100 years were released. This park, to be built on the front car park of Millennium Point, will be connected to Park Street Gardens and as a result, PSG will be developed. Proposals have seen the introduction of water to the park however queries from the public over the tombstones has been raised. The park is not used often because of its distance from the city centre's main bustling areas however the council insisted on its regeneration in 2000 which saw the construction of new railings and walls and installment of benches.
