Parklife in the civic sense consists of our engagement - conscious or otherwise - with a repeating series of mostly Victorian attributes: bandstands, usually silent, in the sense of lacking any schedule of performance, but often occupied as points of congregation and shelter; statuary, usually figurative, often allegorical, frequently commemorating local dignitaries; ponds or lakes with boats and/or pond life in the form of ducks, swans, geese, and moorhens; playing fields, here tennis courts not recorded here as my 10 mins were up, but often the gentler pursuits of bowling or putting.
Key to all these, views into and beyond the edges of the park into its urban setting, as dictated by paths and park benches, which provide a series of leisurely stations to see them from.
