For the love of Ipswich Parks - Ipswich.love

Dear Ipswich, I hope you are having a great week.

I would like to say how very lucky we are to have so many beautiful and different parks in Ipswich. I live near Chantry Park (the biggest park in Ipswich) and walk and run it often. It is really beautiful with fantastic trees, two lakes and a County Wildlife Site.

I have lived along Hadleigh Road for over 40 years. I took my young children in prams around Chantry Park, then as they grew, on the play equipment. Now we have a baby granddaughter and although she lives in France, she has tried out the swings already.

I love Ipswich parks. We should be very proud of what we have.

For the love of finding a new home

I was an outsider that happened to discover you by accident in 2016. My eye was immediately drawn to the buildings and churches.
