Wildlife

Parts of this public park are managed for nature conservation. A native hedge has been planted along the west with hazel, hawthorn and guelder rose. A large patch of grassland in the centre of the park is allowed to grow long before it is cut and is developing into a meadow community. A ‘nature area' is fenced off in the north-east corner and includes an area of rough grassland surrounding a pond. The grassland has had several herbs sown into it including common knapweed and oxeye daisy. Marginal plants in the pond include lesser reedmace, water plantain, water mint and clustered dock.
