King's Meadow
King's Meadow is a park in Reading, Berkshire, England, located next to the River Thames. It stretches from the Coal Woodland (so-called because it used to be the site of a coal heap 〔(Kings Meadow and the Coal Woodland ), Reading Borough Council.〕) to King's Meadow Road near Reading Bridge. King's Meadow is visible from the railway when entering or leaving Reading railway station from the eastern side. It is currently managed by Reading Borough Council.
== History ==
King's Meadow was a possession of Reading Abbey and became owned by the King after the dissolution of the monasteries. In 1869 the town of Reading purchased of the meadow as a recreation ground. This area has long been used as the site of a variety of public events such as Reading market, a race course, Reading shows and fairs.
It is also the location of the disused King's Meadow swimming pool, which was built there in 1903. The future of the building is a subject of local controversy.〔James Burridge, (Sink or Swim for Pool ), BBC Radio Berkshire, UK, 10 August 2004.〕
