Introduction
The park is entered at the brow of Mansfield Hill through ornamental iron gates, the design incorporating the park's name and two leaping deer. It opens onto a small area of lawns with bedding displays in square, lozenge-shaped and circular island beds. A central path leads to the rolling hillside beyond. The park has fine views across William Girling Reservoir.
