Palmer Park, Urban park in Reading, United Kingdom.
Palmer Park extends across 49 acres of land, featuring open green spaces, sports facilities, tennis courts, and multiple walking paths throughout the grounds.
The park was established in 1891 through a land donation from the Huntley & Palmers biscuit company, marking the beginning of its role as a public recreation space.
The park incorporates a memorial dedicated to local soldiers from World War I, serving as a place of remembrance for the Reading community.
The grounds contain two children's playgrounds, several football pitches, and a stadium with a velodrome that hosts regular athletics and cycling events.
During summer seasons, the park transforms some of its football fields into cricket pitches, allowing for diverse sports activities throughout the year.
