  • The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background the Royal Parks Are
    The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background The Royal Parks are managed for the enjoyment of the public, balancing the interests of our visitors, wildlife, the historic environment and conservation. As pedestrians comprise the majority of visitors and include potentially vulnerable groups, such as small children and the elderly, they have priority in the parkland and open spaces. TRP seeks, however, to cater for wide range of other recreational activities in a way that does not interfere with the safety, comfort and convenience of other park users. Skating is a popular activity that appeals to a wide range of people. TRP seeks to provide opportunities for skating in the Royal Parks for the enjoyment of skaters and without adverse impact on other park users and the park environment. This policy concerns skating on what is described in the Park Regulations as “foot- propelled devices” – including roller blades, roller skates, freeline skates, roller- skis, skateboards/waveboards and scooters. Regulations The Royal Parks Regulations state that visitors: • may skate on the roads, unless this is restricted by a park notice, and in any other area where permitted; • must not skate in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any person; • must comply with any direction for the control of skating that is given either by a constable, or by notice; . must not intentionally or recklessly interfere with the safety, comfort or convenience of any person using a park Where you may skate in the Royal Parks Skaters may use park roads that are open to other vehicles, unless prohibited to do so.

  • Hyde Park, London
    Hyde Park, London Hyde Park is one of the largest parks in London, and one I permitted limited access to gentlefolk,[6] appointing a of the Royal Parks of London, famous for its Speakers’ ranger to take charge. Charles I created the Ring (north Corner. of the present Serpentine boathouses), and in 1637 he [7] The park was the site of the Great Exhibition of 1851, opened the park to the general public. for which the Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Pax- ton. The park has become a traditional location for mass demonstrations. The Chartists, the Reform League, the Suffragettes, and the Stop the War Coalition have all held protests in the park. Many protesters on the Liberty and Livelihood March in 2002 started their march from Hyde Park. On 20 July 1982 in the Hyde Park and Regents Park bombings, two bombs linked to the Provisional Irish Republican Army caused the death of eight members of the Household Cavalry and the Royal Green Jackets and seven horses. The park is divided in two by the Serpentine and the Long Water. The park is contiguous with Kensington Gardens; although often still assumed to be part of Hyde Park, Hyde Park c. 1833: Rotten Row is “The King’s Private Road” Kensington Gardens has been technically separate since 1728, when Queen Caroline made a division between the two. Hyde Park covers 142 hectares (350 acres)[2] and Kensington Gardens covers 111 hectares (275 acres),[3] giving an overall area of 253 hectares (625 acres), making the combined area larger than the Principality of Monaco (196 hectares or 480 acres), though smaller than the Bois de Boulogne in Paris (845 hectares, or 2090 acres), New York City's Central Park (341 hectares or 840 acres), and Dublin’s Phoenix Park (707 hectares, or 1,750 acres).

  • New Arrivals for St James's Park As Three Great White Pelicans Take
    Strictly Embargoed until 11am Tuesday 26 March 2013 New arrivals for St James’s Park as three Great White pelicans take up residence in front of Buckingham Palace. St James’s Park welcomes three Great White pelicans as they take up residence in the Royal Park in front of Buckingham Palace. The trio, one called Tiffany, help maintain a 349-year tradition that attracts and delights millions of visitors to the park every year. The first pelican to grace the Royal Parks was a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles II in 1664 and the colony has thrived ever since. The young Great White Pelicans – a gift from the City of Prague – are the result of a remarkable collaboration of the Royal Parks Foundation, The Royal Parks, Prague Zoo and The Tiffany & Co. Foundation, which will ensure the majestic birds flourish in their new home on St James’s Park Lake. Visitors to the Royal Parks Foundation website will be invited to help name one of the beautiful birds by voting for their favourite name from a list at www.SupportTheRoyalParks.org. These include Bela, Bety, Karola, Pearl, Queenie and Isla. A precision-planned operation transported the pelicans from Prague in a climate- controlled vehicle with specially mounted cameras so the birds could be observed at all times. Animal welfare officers checked them regularly during the 800-mile trip. They then enjoyed a pampered introduction to life in St James’s Park, spending around two months in a specially fitted out enclosure where an experienced and skilled team monitored their progress as they acclimatised to their new surroundings.
