Hi,
I too used to play in Bungo Park, back in the 60'S, I dont think that was its real name because it shows on old maps as Helmet St Recreation ground,
I remember it having a wall all round it, and gravel football area, There wasnt a blade of grass ! there were swings, roundabout, see saw and one of those long rides like a rocking horse which would seat about 6 kids at a time, it always had a Parkie who stayed in his hut, and would only come out if he thought there was any trouble! I dont think many kids knew about the park as it was quite hidden away and most of the housing was cleared, Many happy days were spent there.
