A day in Regents Park with the Parks Management Association Board looking at how we can support the parks sector now and in the future and those working in it. A cracking day in an outstanding park. Thank you @theroyalparks.bsky.social for hosting us.

Surveying ground in what wound become Prospect Park, c. 1866. Landscape architects Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted are thought to be the two men in the middle of this photo. Construction began in July 1866, and the park opened to the public the next year. #Brooklyn
