Municipal Gardens

The Municipal Gardens is an urban park in Aldershot featuring pathways shaded by mature lime trees and well-maintained flower beds throughout. The grounds include a contemporary water fountain, two wisteria-covered pergolas, a children's play area with climbing structures, and an open sports zone.

The land was originally known as Parish Clerk's Land before the local council acquired it in the 1890s. The park officially opened in 1904 and has since become an important green space for the community.

The granite memorial dedicated to wartime casualties serves as a focal point for remembrance in the park. Visitors often pause here to reflect on the place's role as a space for honoring those lost in conflicts.

The park is accessible on foot with multiple entry points that lead to all areas. Visitors should note that different zones are used at different times, with children frequenting the play area and athletes using the open sports space.

Not all trees in the park were planted at the same time, but some originate from a special community planting event in December 1905. Local residents contributed to planting over 30 specimens of different species, some of which still stand today in the park.
