HARTLEY & MANNAMEAD FOCUS Hartley Park – Built out of rubble? Did you know that Hartley Park used to be called Hartley Pleasure Gardens? Situated in the Hartley, Compton areas of Plymouth, the Park offers views north east to Dartmoor National Park. The highly undulating nature of the Park is as a result of spoil dumped when construction of the adjacent reservoir was carried out between 1859 to 1862. The reservoir was open air until 1982 when it was given a concrete roof and grassed over. It is now home to the Plymouth Croquet Club. In a prime location the park offers a pleasant open space, children’s play area and other recreational facilities including a tennis court. There’s also a highly active The Friends of Hartley Park group looking at ways to protect it for future generations. For properties in this area, call Julian Marks Estate Agents 01752-401128
