Wonderful little picturesque old park. Amazing place to visit, walk around & relax. Beautifully historical heritage... this park is close to the shops, surrounded by churches. Lots of trees & gardens.. war memorials. There is also a toliet block in the park.
Armidale's premier park, right next to the CBD. Full of magnificent, mature trees and decked out with benches from a bygone era. In the middle is a modest fountain and paths radiate out from here. Great place to escape the sun.
Beautiful place, so tidy and peaceful. Clean toilets, no rubbish anywhere. Plenty of tables and seating. Great.

Lovely old park. Shame it's ok for homeless people to be sleeping rough in it and litter left over from someone's picnic, but you don't allow dogs on lead. Sadly, like many public spaces in Armidale, not dog friendly. Such old school thinking. Humans are messier than dogs!

A wonderful park, filled with beautiful old trees, and hedged on three sides by historic churches. A great place for a picnic. Complete with memorial fountain, toilets, shelter and a rotunda.
