They should make Purston Park out like it used to be with tennis courts And bowling greens and the top end of the park with what used to be in it.  The likes of see-saws mini roundabouts and the umberella as it was a long time ago. ;D ;D ;D

Does anyone have any good photos of how the park use to look like that they can post, because i've seen the odd one, but it would be nice to see what it looked like properly :)

I wish i'd had somewhere like this to play in when i was younger  :(
It'd be nice to see it back like that one day, but i suppose thats going to take respect from the local scally wags.

I've got to agree with you ruthie, but back then there was not alot of danger from certain types people of the community like there is today, they maybe was around in those days but they were never mentioned.
