At the centre of the park is a large wildlife pond, which is a great attraction for visitors. There are water cascades going down into the pond from the peace garden area.
The pond is home to waterfowl such as Geese and Moorhens. You can feed the birds with grain and seeds but don’t feed the birds with bread - it's not good for them and it encourages the local herring gulls to scavenge.
