A former graveyard, in an area famous for the production of English Delftware pottery - hence Potter's Fields - the park is designed to be compassionate to the extensive history in the local area and to provide a safe, clean and restful space for people to relax in. It contains grass, trees, and a colourful herbaceous garden created by world famous plantsman Piet Oudolf. There are even still some gravestones visible from the Tooley Street entrance
Last time your author was there it was also being used as venue for camel racing, but that was probably a one off. For more on the park, see http://www.pottersfields.co.uk
