Kate’s Corner of the Park refers to a spot in or near Regent’s Park connected with Douglas Adams’ close friend and collaborator, **Kate Schellenbach**, or more likely, **Kate Adams**, Douglas’s daughter — though in fandom lore the phrase has become a poetic nickname for a small, peaceful place Adams loved within the park.

The term is often used informally by fans retracing Adams’ London, marking one of the quiet corners where he might have paused to think, write, or feed the ducks. Whether literal or symbolic, it represents the gentler, Earth-bound side of Adams’ imagination — the part that found beauty in simple moments amid cosmic absurdity.
“Kate’s Corner” stands for the private calm behind the public humor, the still point from which *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy* spiraled outward into infinity.
