Map-Labeling

Example:

The Statue of Diane Gosforth has been moved: it used to be close to the south gate, but it’s now
to the north of the lily pond, almost in the centre of the park.
There’s a new area of wooden sculptures, which are on the river bank, where the path from the
east gate makes a sharp bend.
The play ground has been enlarged and improved, and that’s between the river and the path that
leads from the pond to the river.
The new maze is near the west gate – you go north from there towards the river and then turn left
to reach it.
The tennis courts are still in the south-west corner of the park, where there’s a right-angle bend
in the path.
The new fitness area is right next to the lily pond on the same side as the west gate.
