OTHER DETAILS
The park has been used for roller ski races. The Park has recently been extensively refurbished. The rough section of road by the triumphal main gate has been resurfaced. Unfortunately internal tracks have been resurfaced with gravel. (Only a local authority short of money would spend it on resurfacing tracks that did not need resurfacing with an inferior material).
