Penn Road Gardens (also known as Penn Road Open Space)

Introduction

The lawn that takes up most of the garden is retained by low stone edging, and has a triangular bed within it with some planting. A perimeter path surrounds the lawn, with niches for benches surrounded by privet hedging, shrub beds to the boundary railings and trees along the boundary. The garden now has community maintained flower and shrub beds and in 2010/11 was a Green Flag Community Award Winning Park.
