Morrab Gardens, Grade II listed Victorian park in Penzance, United Kingdom
Morrab Gardens spans 1.5 hectares with tree-lined paths, ornamental ponds, a granite fountain, and a central Victorian bandstand surrounded by diverse plant collections.
The local council acquired the gardens in 1888, transforming the grounds of a wealthy brewer's estate into a public park designed by Reginald Upcher.
The Friends of Morrab Gardens organization coordinates volunteers who maintain the grounds, organize fundraising events, and host an annual summer celebration.
Multiple entrances from Morrab Road and St Mary's Terrace provide access to the gardens, which remain open daily from sunrise until sunset.
The gardens contain sub-tropical plants that flourish in Cornwall's mild climate, including palms, olive trees, and bamboo growing alongside traditional English garden species.
