Vernon Park

"What was once a beautiful green space has just been left to fall into ruin. The duck pond is disgusting and the way youths treat the wildlife here is worse still. The park is old and very worn out too."

"There is a large pond where you can see many beautiful birds. There is also a playground."

"A quiet nice park in the neighborhood. You can go, sit and relax there. A big playground for kids and gym facilities for adults are there which makes it your first choice."

"Vernon park is a large neighbourhood park that has seen considerable investment in recent years including a new pavilion with a community room, a high quality football pitch, floodlit tennis courts, public toilets, increased on site parking and a new children’s play area. Vernon Park its has a Green Flag. The pond area backs onto Basford Library and is very popular with anglers, walkers and wildlife watchers. Recently the pond has had considerable investment with new fishing platforms, boardwalk, platform for teaching angling, and works to reinforce the banks."
