If Moseley wasn’t happy enough having one park that its residents aren’t allowed in then this weekend saw a big fat dose of joy.

We are now the proud owners of, officially, the smallest park in the world. Weighing in at roughly the size of a leaf or maybe a discarded thing the new Moseley Park provides a leisure opportunity for the more time challenged individual.

Many residents find the private park a chore because in a very real sense it involves some walking and a substantial amount of gate opening. The new park will allow people to have that true park going experience but without the inherent inconvenience.

A spokesperson for the Park and Pool committee might have told us “In these modern times people want to go to some sort of park without the inconvenience of actually going there. We’ve now created something that gives that authentic park experience at less than £30 a year. This isn’t a superficial publicity attempt to cover up the fact that we can’t put a sign up,”

We say “Fair play to them, a tiny park gives us all a chance to pretend we are giants and tread on tiny ducks without the fear of the usual revenge.”
