Grovelands Park
2022 Jun 16
It is always a pleasure to go for a walk around Grovelands Park, no matter which season we are in. The huge pond has to be the biggest attraction, especially with the amount of Ducks, Geese and Swans swimming!
The large open green spaces are fantastic, and particularly for dogs to run around. Grovelands does have a few leisure faciltiies on offer- Basketball court,Tennis court, Bowling Green, Outdoor Gym and a Pitch & Putt course. There are two cafes located in the park (one being next to the Pitch & Putt).
There are a few good trails around the park, and without a doubt they do bring an adventurous feeling throughout. The trail across the Wetlands area is great and even there being a forest to discover behind the pond.
It is incredibly fascinating to see how many trees there are around, and of course there being plenty of benches to sit down and admire the natural scenery!

New Southgate Recreation Ground Pavilion
2022 Jun 14
This may be a relatively small park, but it's still good to go there for a jog/walk around the open field area when the weather is decent. The outdoor gym facilities are good to use.
It is disappointing to see some litter being scattered around, although the park is well maintained.

Arnos Park
2022 Jun 13
Arnos Park is really peaceful to visit for an early morning walk. The park may be small, but nonetheless has a huge open space and a really picturesque sight of the railway bridge.
There's a dog agility course which looks fantastic and great for anyone to take their dogs to use. It's a real shame that Arnos Park hasn't got a cafe, although as an alternative there is a van selling food & drink. The toilets are located beneath the bridge, and opposite there's the Bowling Green & Tennis Courts.
There's plenty of benches and litter bins around Arnos Park, and always pleased to see how the park is well maintained at all times.
I hugely recommend anyone to walk along the Pymmes Brook trail, which definitely has an adventurous feeling to it!

Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv
2022 Jun 08
I went to visit The Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv in April, and it felt really surreal to have experienced being there.
It was incredibly admiring to see how well maintained the building and ornaments were, given how historical this place is and it's amazing architecture!

Bloomfield Stadium
2022 Apr 20
I was in attendance at Hapoel Tel Aviv v Maccabi Netanya on Sunday, my first visit to The Bloomfield Stadium.
Outside the stadium, the queues were very big and it was very frustrating as there were no stewards by the turnstiles to help those fans who were struggling to get through having had problems with their tickets not being scanned.
I was amazed with the architecture and size of a very modern looking stadium. The atmosphere was outstanding from both sets of fans, predominantly Hapoel Tel Aviv who sung their hearts out for the entire 90 minutes. A very deserved win for the home side who took their chances to secure the 2-0 win, and defended their advantage in the second half.
Besides from the stadium visit and match being enjoyable, unfortunately I was also disappointed with how dirty the toilets were, the queues for refreshments being out of control at half-time and how people were smoking inside the stadium.
Nonetheless, I would definitely return to Bloomfield upon future trips to Israel. Regardless if I was dissatisfied with a few things.
