It was very clean, but the garden itself needs some TLC. Great place to have a family picnic and kick a ball. Nice options for buying takeaway nearby.
A nice spot to wander through as you are likely to be in the historic precinct anyway, lots of mature significant trees of differing types - pleasant
You can sit in the gardens and enjoy them for what they are - a public open space - however to really know what goes on here, take a tour. Our guide showed us many aspects of the gardens would otherwise walk past without realising it.
This was such a nice place to have our lunch so peaceful and such old trees very nice garden with table settings.
If you want to have a break from shopping head to the gardens with a snack and relax. Beautiful trees and lawn.
These gardens are lovely great in this heat with plenty of shade there is some seating also great for a picnic well kept gardens very nice.
I reckon a lot of thought had gone into the planning of these gardens. There was plenty of seating, it was close to the Historic Precinct where people had been walking around for a fair while, or taking a guided tour, it was close to the public toilets and it was reasonably close to places to buy your lunch, a take-out coffee, whatever..... I was unlucky and visited on a bitterly cold day but, without a vehicle and having brought my lunch with me, these gardens were a convenient location for me between two booked walking tours. There was sufficient seating to find one in what sun there was. When the sun is out it would be a perfect family picnic area. The gardens looked reasonably well maintained and, being in close proximity to two guys whose conversation was difficult to miss, more development is planned. I hope they don't make it too 'glitzy.' sited around a war memorial, one needs a place of quiet contemplation, which is exactly what this is. A very useful community amenity; from what I saw during my short visit, this town is very dependant on tourism for its survival and this type of amenity is exactly what is needed.
This is a lovely European style garden just off the historic precinct. In summer it is a place of cool shade, in winter there is enough colour to break the gloom of a cold morning. A fountain tinkles,and a bandstand beckons. A pleasant place of calm.
Tree huggers paradise! You could feel the history surround you. Picnic tables under the shady canopies would be more welcoming in summer than winter.
These gardens need a lot of love. There are some great old trees and small garden beds. It could be so much more
