New fence and entrance
Ornamental iron fencing was erected along the edge adjoining the new road (then known ascGeneva Road but now called Parkside)lxxxii. In total, it covered a 668 yard stretch from the river bridge to the southeast corner. A new entrance, with ornate pillars and spherical finials,
was constructed near the bowling greenslxxxiii. It has come to be regarded as the main new fence and entrance
The entrance at the southeast corner of the park was also replaced with a new construction.
The new fence followed a smoother curve than the original boundary, diverging by several yards around the section near the new entrancelxxxiv. The old boundary would typically have consisted of a hawthorn hedge interspersed with trees. A line of trees spaced at roughly equal intervals exists just inside the fence along a section towards the east corner. Presumably this is the remains of the old boundary, surviving in similar fashion to other old boundaries elsewhere in the park.
At this time, the park staff consisted of seven people in total.
