context_page_description: Palmer Park is a public park in Reading, England. The initial 21 acres land for the park was given to the town in 1889 by the proprietors of the Huntley & Palmers biscuit firm. It was extended to 49 acres in 1891 and contains a statue of George Palmer.
  The full park was opened on 4 November 1891. The park and pavilion were designed by architect, William Ravenscroft.
  Popular with all of the local residents for various activities, it often hosts religious festivals, sports tournaments and small special events. In the past, Carter's Steam Fair visited the park every year. However, they had to suspend the annual event due to the discovery of ground subsidence in the park in 2001. Chalk mines were found underneath the park and the weight of the fairground rides posed a great danger. The areas affected have now been shored up and compacted to stop any incident from occurring and the Fair is visiting again.
