A fine public park, designed by Thomas Mawson in 1926. The central flower garden and pergola is a good example of Mawson's Arts and Crafts style - but suffers from vandalism. It steps down to a lakeside areas with a neo-classical bandstand. The lake is large and graceful, in the Brownian tradition. But the geometrical bowling greens have a fascist characater.

Though I have never visited this park, it's worth knowing that it was designed by the firm of Thomas H Mawson and Sons, and not by 'THM' himself. In reality the bulk of the design was down to his son Edward Prentice Mawson and is arguably one of his best designs and one that fits well into the tradition established by his father.
