Ward Park

Ward Park is a green space with lakes, sports facilities, and paths for various activities in town. The grounds offer tennis courts, bowling greens, a cricket pitch, and specially surfaced fields for hockey.

The place began as a simple green space and grew over time into a well-used recreational area. This growth shows how it became increasingly important to public life in the town.

The bandstand brings live music performances to the green space regularly, especially during summer months when musicians and visitors gather for shared enjoyment. These events shape the social life of the area and make the place a beloved gathering spot for the community.

The place has toilets and parking areas for visitors, ensuring basic facilities are available. The paths are clearly marked and easy to navigate, so both pedestrians and cyclists can move around comfortably.

The area houses various exotic bird species in special enclosures, animals not typically found in the region. These birds and a bird sanctuary at the lakes make the place a spot for wildlife watching.
