This riverbank park was built to commemorate Lola Silcock, who was instrumental in starting the Cambridge Tree Trust. After the Great Amalgamation of 1989, maintenance of the parks around Cambridge was neglected, and Lola was very concerned about it. She called a meeting of like-minded people, and the CTT was born in 1991.
What is now the park was a dumping ground for industrial waste, including blocks of concrete, steel, and truck tyres. The vegetation was a mixture of gorse, blackberry, assorted exotic trees and shrubs, all held together with convolvulus.
Great views of the river
