Regents Park











Now that the weather is nice I have been out and about in  Regents Park a lot. 
I really like it because:
  • Its got a lot of diversity with grasslands, wetlands, wooded areas, and sports fields. With in each there is even more diversity in pretty flowers and interesting trees. At he center there is a 'secret garden' with a palm tree section!!
  • There are a lot of animals especially birds (a lot of bird watchers can be found here). Again, a lot of diversity, and many of them tend to be freakishly people friendly. Oh, there is also a zoo- where you can steal sneak peeks at the emus and lambs when walking along the dirt path behind it. 
  • Lot of grassy areas for picnics and playing sports- even 12 tennis courts.
  • Lots of Americans - there were eight villas built within the parks grounds. Some of which now house an American University and the US Ambassadors house, where Obama stayed the other week. 
Not sure how this park stays so nice- guess it's because all royal parks are locked up at dusk and reopened at 5am. Here are some pix of Easter inspired flower beds....
