Vernon Park
is
approx. two miles distant and accessible by Tram, alighting at the David
Lane or Basford stops, for entrance through the front gates.
For anyone wishing to use the car there is easy,
and free, on street
parking on Vernon Road immediately by the entrance gate and also a small
car park by turning into Vernon Avenue - though sometimes a bit of a
tight squeeze owing to residents having to park on both sides of the
avenue.
This is a City
Council park containing a lake, football pitches, bowling green and
tennis courts.
There are no ornamental gardens or flower beds and, as
with many City Council parks it is looking
slightly run down (Jan 2008).
But it is understood that the Council have plans to rebuild the sports
pavilion, and renovate the football pitches, tennis courts and car park
at some time in the near future.
The pond would also benefit from some
attention!
