Visited on Sunday the 3rd of May. Read on social media about the garden ,is known as the hidden gardens. Sometimes is nice to have gardens like this one , peaceful. Didn't see any playground that makes the place very quiet.Not a big garden but is beautifully well maintained. Diverse species of trees, plants,really pretty. With summer coming or even sunny days,there is plenty of shade and if you like sun ,you can lie on grass, there are a few picnic tables and benches around. Didn't see any toilets. A good place for walking dogs.
Small but perfectly formed park! Best bit IMO is the Japanese garden which looks beautiful in all seasons with its stone river and cute seating area. Also has a wisteria tunnel, which is amazing to walk through when in bloom, a mini hill great for little ones to tumble down and a mini maze. No swings or slides though, just lots of connected little gardens.
A really beautiful and unique garden that kind of feels like being in a video game map. It's clear there's been a lot of effort put into making and maintaining it.
The Walken Gardens is not only a charming garden for the Wisteria goers but it is also a picnic place for family gatherings on holidays. The particular design of the garden is a mysterious maze giving you a challenge on the lawns walking through to find your way out. When entering the Gardens, people are firstly greeted by the "Dovecote" standing solemly before your sight. Walking along the lawns of the maze, you can find an arch built for the wiseria plants climbing on it , red maples to attract your eye-sight, types of butterflies and bees dancing among the flower blossoms. People are hardly to find a garden like Walken Gardens because there are spacious squares designed inside the maze for families to bring their children for a picnic here. It is a pity that most of the wisteria blossms had fallen when I have visited. There are still some strings of them hanging down overhead from the brim of the arch. Wisteria goers can have a good view in the early May of each year.
Beautiful free garden to wander around in. Very well maintained and a lovely place to be. Makes a difference to the other neglected parks in the area.
