Rich in wildlife
Towards the east of the park by the pavilion café is a children's play area and the remains of the original bathing lake that once contained three ponds, surrounded by raised beds planted with a variety of ornamental shrubs. Today one of the ponds has an island planted with shrubs and another, which was once a paddling pool, is now an interactive water play park. The park contains a scattering of mature oaks, horse chestnuts along the east side, one notable oak pollard, with lime and horse chestnut along the New River bank. Town Park has won a Green Flag in 2008 - 2010.
