Is there no longer a gardener for Canal Gardens? The flowering plants are choked with weeds, which are starving established plants of essential water and nutrients. Surely those serving Community Service sentences could be used to maintain our public gardens in these money strapped times. Also Tropical World appears to be worn out, requiring refurbishment, I feel the charges for entry are extortionate and not value for money. A very disappointing visit!

Nice garden to sit and read a book or take a stroll, can be busy but quite peaceful, carry on walking and a nice little secluded area around the back with a little bridge and rock garden, great for photos and has natural beauty with flowers and shrubs, its called the Friends Garden.

Canal Gardens is quite small but in honesty, you’re only really visiting for the pond which is beautiful. There are fountains in the middle and an ornate selection of flowers grow around the perimeter, with multiple benches and a covered area towards the back. From the pond there are also other planted garden areas for sitting and relaxing but unless you’re an enthusiast, enjoy it alongside another local attraction as it is fairly small.

A lovely place close to Tropical World just on a corner. Great place for a short walk as a finishing a visit to this indoor exotic park. Beautiful pond with a fontaine and plants around. It is free. Worth to come.

Lovely peaceful place with the canal running tbrough it. Problems of the virus and the scorching May weatber have resulted in flower borders not up to their usual brilliance but the Friends Garden near the Old Park Rd entrance, being more shaded is as beautiful as ever. Great to have the cafe back in operation as a takeaway.
