Delete It !!
[edit]This article needs to be removed and deleted. A park of only six acres in size - in which nothing significant ever happened - is NOT encyclopedic. It is just stupid.
Now, if the invading German Army had surrendered there in 1940, that would be completely different. 00:26, 11 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.67.97.108 (talk)
- I've not been able to find any reliable sources so I've tagged the article for notability and original research. I think it should be redirected to Parkstone unless someone can add reliable sources. Barret (talk) 09:37, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- This article is the result of research carried out within the Borough of Poole archive records by that council's Landscape Architect. I am a current council employee; I found the notes before they were archived (i.e. lost to most people) and believe that there IS a space on Wikipedia for articles of local historic interest. I wouldn't personally be that fascinated to read about where the Germany Army surrendered, but that just goes to show how diverse human interest is. Thank goodness. Unfortunately BarretBonden I don't believe the original sources of the information within this article are now easily come by.Essjay8 (talk) 17:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well if the page is going to be kept up, then do you have an original picture that you can put up? Cleanelephant (talk) 06:57, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
