Introduction
The original layout of paths and trees is relatively intact today although some features, including its bandstand and drinking fountains, have now gone. The bowling green and ornamental gates at the western entrance remain. New facilities were added over the years, and the plant nursery and green houses later became Plashet Zoo where birds were first kept in 1964, now closed.
