Grosvenor ParkSince it's opening in 1867 many changes have been made, however, much of the original design and features by Edward Kemp remain.
The formal avenues lined with trees, statues, large sweeping lawns surrounded with ornamental shrub beds and display bedding, for which the park has become well known is very much part of the city and is used by locals and visitors alike. The bedding displays are planted twice yearly to provide a spectacular and colourful display throughout the Spring and Summer months.
In recent years the park has been used for many horticultural events and festivals including the Summer Music Festival, however, the main use continues to be that of people enjoying the peaceful and attractive setting.
