OPEN AIR RECREATION AMENITIES.
Bromley is very fortunate in the number of its open air
recreational facilities, for there are few things more refreshing
both for the body and mind than the ability to be able to get
away, even if only for an hour or so, from the turmoil and stress
of modern city life. The Council, by its wise provision of these
amenities, has given everybody a chance of enjoying the peace
and quiet of the open spaces and thereby made a great, if
unspectacular, contribution to the health of the populace.
There is, however, the extraordinary anomaly that on fine
Saturday mornings one sees children queueing for admission to
cinemas.
