my town is built completely around a park, Sutton park, it is one of the largest urban parks in Europe and the largest outside a capital city; it is smaller than Richmond Park in London, but larger than the Phoenix Park in Dublin which both claim to be the largest in the continent.
The Park covers 900.1 hectares (2224.2 acres / 9.0 kmē), with a mix of heathland, wetlands and marshes, seven lakes, extensive ancient woodlands (covering approximately a quarter of the Park). Its the only thing we have, its huge and fantastic, teenagers have been going there for years to get stoned or hang out or kill themselves.
