If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remembered my family was the first Chinese family to live in Aveley High Street. This park I used to come to a lot with my parents and sisters/brother. This slide - I remember when I first slid down on it, my sister put out her arm at the bottom and I was sooo scared that I jumped off from mid way! It's the highest slide (for children anyway) I've ever slide off! Happy Memories.
I used to love that slide when I was little. I grew up in Aveley, my parents moved from London in 1966 when I was 2 months old, we used to live in Mill Road (my parent still do). The biggest thing at the Rec was the yearly Fair. Great memories.
This is where I now live,backing onto the Rec,all the toys for the childen have now gone but new ones been put up over by the old tenns courts which is now an carpark. I have lived at Hall Avenue since 1989
