The Napier Fountain, Devonport Park
A fountain built to commemorate Admiral Sir Charles Napier who lived between 1786 and 1860. Although it is supposed to be a fountain, I have never ever seen it working. Money was supposed to have been allocated for its restoration in 2005 but it does not appear to have been spent - at least not on the fountain!

Petanque court in Devonport Park
The game has become more popular in the UK in recent years. I do wonder what the bowls player Drake would have thought of the French version of the game being played in Plymouth?
