What To Do?
There are so many things to do in the Park, from a simple walk amongst the trees, sitting in the Old English Garden or one of the other gardens, or games with children on the playing fields.
For kids, you may just want to kick a ball or cycle, but there are some playgrounds to help burn off the energy, followed by a walk to the river, past the Pagoda, to watch boats passing by, or go play by the fountains.
The Park has a wide range of sports facilities, including the Millennium Arena for the more serious
Or just drop in at one of the eating places, such as La Gondola al Parco by the lake, after reflecting on the art.

Sign for All Seasons
Within the frozen Park today,
A ”caution” sign was half-witted.
Warning of ice was quite OK.
Why “No BBQs permitted”?
Please those on duty another day,
Before warnings are transmitted,
By signs or any other way,
Use words that are better fitted.
Philip Wright, January 2010
I have a sign to warn of ice
Because to fall would not be nice
Oh where to put it, what to do
Oh here's a sign, No BBQ
On which I'll mount it, by the gate
Not centred, quite deliberate.
It may bemuse, it may well rile?
I hope, at least, it made you smile.
