From the Wikipedia article
Queen's Park is a public park in the centre of the town of Swindon, England, east of the Regent Circus area. The park is Grade II listed. The park is owned by Swindon Borough Council. In 2018, the park was transferred to South Swindon Parish Council on a 99-year lease, and the parish council is now responsible for operating and maintaining the park. It is about 12 acres (49,000 m2) in size, with a lake of around 2 acres (8,100 m2), and contains a diverse range of ornamental trees and shrubs. The park has a Garden of Remembrance, officially opened by Princess Elizabeth on 15 November 1950, which commemorates those who died in World War II. Queen's Park is a suitable place for running and other recreational activities.
