Oakwood Park

A Memory of Southgate.

I was born in Southgate in 1938 and lived near Oakwood Park until my teens. In the early years we were often taken to the Park to play on the swings etc. I remember the boating pond, and the tea house where, when the war had ended, we were able to buy ice creams which were delicious! Later on I played tennis on the courts in the Park. I also remember the wonderful poplar trees which were all along the paths. I also recall that there was an 'ice house' somewhere in the Park near the tea house Oakwood Park was a great place and we spent many happy times there.
