New Parks Boys,

A Memory of New Parks.

I remember well the tennis courts . We were a secondary modern and our tennis courts were very secondary. Holes and gravel with a perimeter fence that had so many holes in it that about 20% of the balls sailed through it only to be punted down the road by a passing car. Whereas the girls' grammer school next to it had new ashphalt, legible lines and a fence strong enough to keep the boys at bay.
We had great sports teams and excellent fields to compensate. We shared with fields with the girls but they rarely ventured out.
