Things to see and do

Trees and nature conservation

There's a wide range of native and exotic trees giving the gardens their unique character and providing shelter and tranquillity for wildlife.

Nature conservation is important in the park, the park has:

  • designated fenced-off areas
  • a scented garden for the visually impaired
  • a well-stocked pond with a biological filter system

Park Rangers work closely with local schools, providing an area the children have designed.

It's one of 8 parks in the city recognised by the Green Flag Award Scheme.

New lighting

We've installed new bat and wildlife-friendly lighting in the park’s central pathway.

The new low-energy shielded lights will come on at dusk and switch off at 8pm to cut out light pollution and protect biodiversity in the park.

The Garden Cafe is open:

  • Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm
  • Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 5pm
