When I recently re-wrote this page, I changed the area to the 100 acres quoted by the local council. It has since been changed back to the 700 acres that another user claims he worked out using Google Maps. Whatever method was used, the mathematics appears flawed.
One acre is equivalent to one chain by one furlong. This is 22 by 220 yards. This is roughly equal to 400m by 10m. Anyone who knows the site can tell that there is therefore no way the park can be 700 acres. Indeed, my retired uncles who are both locals and old enough to know an acre when they see one, snorted with derision at the idea of it being 700 acres.
I will not change the figure immediately but will give time for this notice to be read and commented on.

Andrew Duffell, prominent wikieditor for articles covering this geographical area, tagged this page as having multiple issues back in August. Despite the tag itself promoting discussion in this very talk page, there is nothing offered as a reason for the tagging nor ways to improve the article.
In addition, the acreage of the park was reverted despite the discussion above showing consensus on a smaller figure. Mr Duffell, sort your act out. You may be a prolific editor but you're sloppy. -- SmartShark ( talk) 02:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
This article still has one reference, so that is an issue. The article needs to be fully referenced. It also has lots of small sections with single lines. These need expanding, or dealing with in some other way (hence clean up). Andrew ( talk) 14:41, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
