Watson Road Park, South Shore, Blackpool
Towards the back is a multi-use games area or MUGA. The boundary beyond, in shadow, is Yeadon Way on its embankment – the line of a former railway.
"Yeadon Way is the main access into Blackpool for tourists. It is a converted railway linking the M55 (via a short stretch of A5230) to car parks near the beach. As a railway conversion it bridges over several roads without junctions." (See Image ). "The railway conversion continues as Seasiders Way, though mostly at-grade, linking to more car parks.
It is named after Harry Yeadon, a prominent civil engineer for Lancashire. Yeadon worked on the Preston Bypass and many other early motorways and then succeeded Sir James Drake as County Surveyor and Bridgemaster. As a retirement gift, his colleagues named this road, the only one under-construction at the time, after him."

Late afternoon, Watson Road Park, South Shore, Blackpool
A couple strolls to a quieter place; lads kick a ball about; friends sit on the grass and chat – these are the things that parks are for. Defend!
