[edit] Separating the Park Page from the Local Area Page

Most of the major london open spaces have their own page. It avoids confusion. I propse separating the Park entry from the local area entry. Any comments? hjuk 17:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shaping Things up a Bit

[edit] Terrorist Mosque in Finsbury Park

Page 39 of Walter Laqueur's "The Last Days of Europe" reports that there is a mosque in Finsbury Park that has a reputation for a large amount of terrorist recruitment. Can someone more familiar with this integrate it into the article? - MSTCrow 01:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

As per disambig note at the top of the article, this is an article about the park NOT the urban area in which the mosque is located. For the article on the urban area go to Finsbury Park, London hjuk 06:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Homosexual Pickup Point

About ten years ago this park was rather famed for being a place were men would prowl for and in and indulge in homosexual activities often in the park itself. I think that this would mostly happen in the early hours of the night. Maybe we should have a section in this article that covers this or perhaps an internal/external link if this is still the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.216.138.246 (talk) 21:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe it is still the case. The Park had a much higher level of criminal activity then, its undergone quite a change, with considerably more effort being made by the park police and money being spent. Francis Davey 08:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
