There is a small kiddies play park off the Tilehurst road that is in terrible shape.  The only care it's given is the grass is mowed around the play equipment.

Essentially the park is bowl shaped.  The play bit is in the bottom of the bowl with a bit of grass round it.  The sides are planted in ivy.  The rim of the bowl has an asphalt walking path around it with some long-neglected, dead beds of something or other next to the fences.  One side of the path is blocked because the weight of vines has broken the rotten wooden fence that they were growing on;  you'd have to get on hands and knees to get past as the lot has fallen to chest level.

There probably isn't much light after dark; notice on the park gate says it will be closed at dusk every day but in fact I have never seen it closed.

I would love to do something with this, but I can't tell which things are weeds and which things might be real plants that will eventually look nice.  If I take photos could you guys give me some advice of how to make this look nicer?

Certainly, take some snaps, post them up here and we can give advice, you might even find someone nearby who can help (I've created a Berkshire board for you as requested).

I am happy to say the council finally sorted this out.
