Watling Park is a public park in Burnt Oak in the London Borough of Barnet. It is one of Barnet's sixteen premier parks.〔(London Borough of Barnet, Premier Parks )〕 It is a hilly open area with mown grassland, a children's playground, a football pitch, a basketball pitch and a small rose garden. Burnt Oak Brook, a tributary of the Silk Stream, runs through the park.〔(Middlesex County Council, The Story of the Burnt Oak Brook )〕 There are more natural areas of undergrowth at the borders of the park and along the banks of the brook. The park is in the Watling Estate, a London County Council housing estate built in the 1920s and named after the nearby Roman road. It opened in 1931. The area was formerly farmland,〔(London Gardens Online, Watling Park )〕 and oak trees on the hill are survivors of its rural past.〔Barnet's Millennium Walk, London Borough of Barnet leaflet〕 The main entrance is at the corner of Watling Avenue and Orange Hill Road, and there is also access from Fortescue Road, Chessingham Road, Abbots Road and Colchester Road. ==Gallery== File:Watling Park Rose Garden.JPG|Rose Garden File:Watling Park Silk Stream.jpg|Burnt Oak Brook File:Watling Park path.jpg|Path File:Watling Park.jpg|Grassland File:Watling Park playground.jpg|Playground 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Watling Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
