Our regular 5 km (not)parkrun passes either alongside or through this small park beside the A56 road in Timperley. At present the route beside Baguley Brook outside the confines of the park is a bit boggy, so we've been jogging around the inner perimeter, which is an absolute delight.
The top picture is from the entry to the park, next to an Enterprise car hire depot.
The mature trees next to the brook were glimmering in the sunshine this morning.
This little park always looks pristine. It has no facilities (playground, bowling green, tennis courts, etc - all these can be found in other nearby parks) apart from a lone bench and a rubbish bin. These are at the far end of the park, from where you have to double back to reach an exit. Beyond here there are some allotments that have to be accessed from somewhere else.
The bench is an ideal place to pause and contemplate - it's away from any road noise and chirping birds rule the air waves. There may also be an occasional distant screech from the flock of parakeets that live a little to the west, after Baguley Brook has been joined by Timperley Brook to become Sinderland Brook.
This really is a brilliant amenity just a five minute jog from home.
