Sport and dogs on this ground

The recreation register marks 2 playing surfaces on this ground, Tennis and Basketball, graded intermediate and recreational on asphalt.

The register books them by name, Tennis Court 1 and Basketball Half Court.

The register names this park on every record, its surfaces and booking periods are the record, not this week’s draw.

The civic shelf inside

Libraries, toilets, courts and the rest whose point falls inside the park’s drawn outline, the ground in use, the way a register pin is the ground remembered.
