The park has a diverse range of features, including a formal arrangement of flower beds, shrub rows, annual bedding, mature trees and open space grassed areas, set out in a traditional style. Children's play area, tennis courts and bowling greens make this park multi-functional; with events held throughout the year for the benefit of local residents and tourists.

Green Flag Award
We have secured the Green Flag Award. For more information on all winners please visit the website: www.greenflagaward.co.uk
- The Green Flag Award is a national award scheme for parks, which recognises good environmental management.
- The Green Flag Award Scheme is designed to recognise the highest standards amongst England's parks and publicly accessed green spaces.
- It rewards those who attain the demanding criteria and in doing so, it helps to encourage other park authorities and organisations to improve their environment and management standards, so that they in turn may be eligible for a Green Flag.
