There are over 3.5 km of pathways to stroll around the park to view the plants & flowers, rock work, an ornamental lake - which provides a home for ducks and other waterfowl and a number of sculptures which are located throughout the green.
There is also a children's playground and lunchtime concerts are performed during the summer months.
