City Park: Actually Quite Good

Last night I was walking through Bradford in the dark - you know, sometime after 3pm, and was impressed by what they've actually done with the City Park, the new water-feature development in Centenary Square, featuring a large oval dip in which a series of fountains have been put in, from small ones around the edge to some massive jets in the centre.

At night the ones on the edge light up and change colour every few minutes, with the jets taking turns in a circular fashion to jet higher.

Plus, it seems it's not deep enough for people to drown in, thankfully, as there's little standing water.

I couldn't get a photo unfortunately as it was dark and I only had my camera phone but it was really nice to see and the wooden walking area, seating and general atmosphere will make it nice in the summer.

It's far from complete yet with the visitor's centre still under construction (er, they said it would be finished in January, I don't think it will be) but it looks very promising.

Now all we need to really confuse everyone and make the council seem actually, you know, intelligent, is for them to sort out the Odeon and give it to BORG to transform into the new state of the art concert venue.

Hmm... we'll see!
