A beautiful landscaped garden with streams, ponds, a waterfall and an amazing selection of acer rhododendrons, spring bulbs, heathers and alpines blossom so there is normally some colour in the plants.
The park was gifted to the city in 1936 from the Johnston House estate.

Hiking

The gardens are a great place to get a short peaceful walk in the city, there are many different trees and some wildlife to spot. At the main entrance there are also toilets and the far end has a play park. Parking is available across from the main gate.
