I spent my time to had my lunch, and this is my perfect place to seat and enjoy. I love the cleanliness of this park. How they look after it. It was so nice to have a place like this.

Immaculately kept gardens. Beautiful rotundas and flower beds of roses and other plants. Absolutely lovely place to take in the serenity.

Decent little park for a walk or kicking a ball around. Good open space with some shady spots, and the gardens are looked after pretty well. There’s a playground and a few benches to sit on. Handy location if you’re nearby and just want somewhere quiet to chill for a bit.

This park got a lot things that people can have fun. The most impressive thing for me is there got so many beautiful roses, that I only can see in Botanic Gardens in other cities. It’s my first time seeing so many so many different but all so beautiful roses just in a public garden, which is so wonderful. I can stay here whole day, just walk around, smell the different rose scents, enjoy their different looking.

Lovely spot for a leisurely stroll or picnic/barbecue. Well maintained and all the roses and other ornamentals make for stunning photo opportunities. Make sure you take a few moments to enjoy the fish pond over near the bowls club side. Nearer the playground are some of the cleanest public toilets we've ever come across. Overall definitely worth a look if you're in the area - stop and enjoy a moment of peace and tranquillity in the centre of town.
