When I first moved here, I had no idea how many green spaces there are in Croydon. In fact, I only discovered how extensive these are after lockdown take 1.
We have three lakes in North Croydon, ffs (none of them natural - one a former reservoir feeding the Croydon canal, one a former sewage works, and one a former brick pit), and several ponds, as well as woods galore, and lots of parks.
The centre of Croydon is the pits, and the Council is shit, but Croydon certainly has its pluses.
Same here. I had obviously been across lloyd park and up to shirley hills and coombe wood, but until lockdown I never really got really into looking on maps and exploring. Might have had more to do with being out of work than going stir crazy. The green spaces are quite varied when you look beyond the parks. Many are not even green on maps, and you wouldn't know they were there if you didn't live right next to them. That's probably what I should make videos about rather than just running in circles.
