APPROACHING my 80th birthday, I have taken to walking to, and around, Hillworth Park as a form of exercise and what a pleasure it is, particularly so at weekends when I see mums and dads with their children, enjoying precious time together.

I must admit to scepticism when the money was first spent on the park but oh how wrong I was!

It's a wonderful facility for the elderly, the young, and all the in-betweens. Long may it continue.
