There was a UK-wide (and possibly even throughout northern Europe) utopian idea, back in the 1960’s, that large greenfield housing estates should feature extensive areas of unused green space, both for their own sake and because they fulfilled an ideal of design and planning. The idea never really caught on with the residents and quietly dropped out of sight. Today’s drive is to rebuild the inner city at a lower density http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/5917. This green space is at Davarr Avenue, Ballybeen.
