Bus trip - Paradise Park

Paradise Park is a medium-sized park in Islington.

The Children's Centre is supposed to have a living wall - however it appears to have died (perhaps in the cold winter)

Sturdy granite seating

Chess tables

Chess tables

Raised beds (and Maureen)

Play area with equipment and palm trees

Meadow area - mostly thistles and few flowers

Dog enforcement - could we have these signs in Lambeth?

We liked/ thought:

-Peace garden – layout contemplative and relaxed
-Disappointing green wall which had died
-Children’s Centre – play area

-Paradise – it wasn’t!
-Liked the raised beds

-Chess tables were nice
-Raised beds

-Chess tables

-No living wall!
-Had very good seating area/ dog –free with chess tables, seating and raised beds
-It had a lot of open space

-Raised beds
-Chess tables
-Dog-free area
-Meadow was disappointing – they are clearly tricky to maintain
