Vision statement 4.13 "Every home within walking distance of quality open space" - In Central St Leonards the open spaces (St Leonards Gardens, Warrior Square and Gensing Gardens) are suitable mainly for strolling and dog walking. They provide little scope for activities for young people, being largely ornamental. In addition to the play area in Gensing Gardens it would be easy enough to designate an area there and in St Leonards Gardens as totally dog free, so that young children and babies could picnic and play in safety. Greenwich Park has such an area and it is well used by young mothers who live in garden-less flats. Not everyone prefers pebbles to grass - the beach cannot be traded against park provision.
