My regular route to the Brain Doctor passes a hospital, I usually take the path that hugs the hospital wall.
It was pointed out to me that there was a specially constructed path nearby which took the same route
it goes through a lovely wooded area - why don't you use that one?
The Path is very short, just 300 metres long and has consulted the manual on public place-making, the one called
Alienating The Public Via Civic Construction
Warning signs in triplicate mark the entrance; lists of forbidden activities, a sign to tell you that if you die on the path it will be your own fault and one that shows how much you are being surveyed as you take this walk.
There are THREE emergency telephones on the Path!
The Path is fenced in and every ten paces there are shouty signs on both sides. Halfway through this über-telling-off there is a closely mown green patch with three little wooden constructions, slightly too high and too narrow to be sat on - this is 'bench as concept'. If you were thinking of stopping here for a poop there are extra cameras and signs forbidding pooping unless you clean up after yourself properly using the large poop bins provided.
What's not to like?
