Victoria Park

The thing about Widnes is that for all the miserable and hideous excuses for humanity there is certain gems to be had and the big one for me has to be in the buildings. Widnes has scores (well ok five or six) of listed buildings from 900 year old churches to classic sandstone public buildings. Some of the areas of Widnes are lovely too, Widnes is essentially a conurbation on a tiny scale, several villages all being enveloped into a sizable town. Appleton, Farnworth and Cronton all have there green areas. Cronton having Pex Hill and Appleton having Victoria Park.

And its on Victoria Park that i want to focus, When i was a kid the park was my home away from home, be back from school then straight out to play a game very loosely based on football (all with enough time left over to be a geek, amazing). Its actually a very good park, its a fair size, has tennis and basketball courts and a skatepark. It also for some reason now has a climbing rock (is the council begging for some cocky little shit to fall off inebriated on blue WKD and try to sue for negligence). Now the council and a team of volunteers are putting a lot of effort into introducing wildlife. We have a pond, which already has geese, swans, moor hens and ducks (and duckings) and a nature trial though the wooded area.
