Our verdict
A rec is a rec, and a good one is worth its weight in quiet mornings. Flat laps under big trees, gossip at the gates, hills rising all round — the modest backbone of a neighbourhood's walking, listed without apology.
Weston village's rec — flat playing field green edged with fine mature trees, the everyday hub of northwest Bath's dog walkers, kickabouts and pram circuits.
A public recreation ground ringed with mature trees, open at all times.
