Plymouth's Central Park is a large centralised park situated to the north of Plymouth city centre, stretching north from the train station to Pounds House, Peverell and west from Ford Park Cemetery to the A386 (Outland Road and Alma Road). Plymouth is a city in the South West of England, or alternatively the Westcountry, and is situated within the traditional county of Devon. ...
Central Park is trust land, which explains why it has not been built on in the middle of th Inner City Developments. The trustee dedicated the land as 'for municipal use' and as such cannot be built on or developed, except for leisure purposes open to all. The area currently houses many football and rugby pitches, bowling, a pitch and putt golf course as well as much more. It is popular among walkers and joggers as it holds views all over the city to the sea
The park is used mainly for sport and recreation, as it has many leisure facilities such as Central Park Leisure Pools, a golf course, Mayflower Leisure Centre and Home Park Stadium, home to Plymouth Argyle Football Club. There is also Baseball court. There is also a new playgound area, which is based on the continents of the world. Plymouth Argyle Football Club (commonly known as the Pilgrims) are an English football team, playing in the Championship league. ...
There are now plans by the council to demolish the now ageing Leisure Pools and Mayflower Leisure Centre and replace it with a new larger combined Indoor Sports Complex, with multipurpose indoor pitches, basketball court, ice rink, swimming pool and café. It will also be joined onto Home Park Stadium.

Peter Shilton, the former England goalkeeper who played a record 125 times for his country, was Plymouth manager from 1992 until 1995, but was unsuccessful in trying to arrest a decline which saw the Pilgrims slide from the second to the fourth tier of the league in the space of three years.
Having been rebuilt after the war, Home Park was largely demolished as part of an extensive process of renovation, and the first phase of a new stadium built by Barrs plc was completed in May 2002.
