Great park - lovely for families with small children as plenty of space for them to run about and do what they please. Cafes, lawns, formal borders and a rose garden with statues, wild flowers in the summer, a velodrome situated in the north-east corner, tennis courts, childrens play area, runners and joggers galore. Opposite the park, across the main London Road is the largest municipal rock garden in Britain, built up the side of a steep railway embankment. Various pathways and streams wind through its grounds.
