Arthur Newbery Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Newbery Park is a park in Tilehurst, Reading, Berkshire. It is named after Arthur Newbery, who donated the land in 1932. It is one of Reading's oldest parks and was once part of Kentwood Common. Hollows in the park remain of chalk and clay pits. [1]
The park slopes northwards giving views across the River Thames. It is mainly grass, with scattered trees, although there are small wooded areas and a play area. What is now the play area, was once a pool. About 11 years ago the pool became run-down and was renovated into the current play area.
