  Quick wander through the gardens and then walk around the Abbey ruins too. Summer planting of the flower gardens is very good. Bit of a detractor though is all the kids smoking dope!  more »

  Great park in center of town. See the statue of the lion with the muscles crafted in the wrong place. Seriously people go on about this personally I couldn't care less as the beast itself is really magnificent

  A very pleasant and peaceful park makes a useful escape from the busy Reading town centre. There is a shop in the park but it was closed on the Saturday afternoon when we visited. The park has a well designed fountain made of stones set in concrete. The other main feature is the Maiwand Lion statue which tops a war memorial. The ripped lion definitely looks like it's spent some time at the local gym.
