    High above the city and behind the station and viaduct, this park is a great place to get dramatic views, as long as the sun is in the right place.

    Beautiful park with plenty to see and do. Free toilets and a nice cafe in the same block. Affordable car parking and a great play area. Personal highlights are the view point next to the carved statue of Mr. Wharton himself and the community garden area where they even have home grown plants you can take away after a donation. Lovely at all times of the year.
