It frightens me to think, but I used to scuttle across busy Old Shoreham Road at the age of 5 to play there, and pick blackberries. There was a tangled jungle of thorny blackberry bushes about halfway into the park on the West side.
Now I think about the dangers from traffic, and weirdos.
used to play in the mecca of parks?
