I'm writing to you in response to your article about closing city playgrounds (Oxford Mail, May 21).

I wrote to you before about saving the Juniper Drive playground at Blackbird Leys. It's a shame that it may be closed.

Children use the park regularly. It's a good park because parents can always keep an eye on their children. When I walk past, I am always asked to sing a song for them.

Please don't close this park.

If the residents want to contact me, I could get a petition going.
