Just an amazing time capsule of Edwardian life with a running brook, clear paths and a beautifully preserved putting green pavilion. Very well maintained and loved. On Sunday there is live music in the band stand and on a sunny day, people are out walking their dogs and occupying most of the.benches. It is how life should be. I wish it translated to the mainland.

Really great putting green with a well stocked and very well priced little cafe. This is my favourite place to eat during Ventnor Fringe as the food is good and generous, the staff are friendly and they don't raise their prices just because of the event. The putting green park itself is a lovely peaceful atmosphere and during the fringe hosts the family zone as well. The arts and crafts house adjacent is also really interesting to look at.

This is a lovely little park tucked up on the west of Ventnor. The main road used to go all the way to Niton and Blackgang but due to landslips that is closed. As a result this is a quieter road. Nicely laid out lawns and wonderful flower beds. There is a bandstand which is home to some concerts from time to time in the summer. Up at the wet end there are some adult outdoor gym equipment to have a go on. On from here you can see back to Ventnor from a height. There is also a cafe and putting green at the east end. Tee in the Park.

Lovely park with lots to see and do. Lots of pretty flowers and walks. There is some gym equipment to have a go on from my 7 year old niece to my 65 year old mum, everyone had fun. Beautiful views from the top of the park too.
