The genesis of the gardens
A public garden donated by Sir Jesse Boot and laid out by Mr J Parker, the Superintendent of the Nottingham Public Parks Committee; the site was completed in 1927 and remains a public garden.
The Memorial Gardens are three hectares in size and are located two kilometres south of Nottingham city centre and 450 metres south-west of Trent Bridge.
The Gardens are enclosed and gated.
The east boundary is against the Victoria Embankment carriage drive and is marked by a wrought-iron fence on a concrete plinth.
The fence continues to form the boundary around the southern tip, including the bandstand area. The west margin is set against recreation grounds that formed the remainder of Jesse Boot’s gift of land and is marked by a hedge and railings.
The perimeter of the Gardens in the north is marked by the boundary with the King’s School, and a public footpath that leads to Fraser Road.
The boundary is formed by a hedge and railings.
The Gardens are sunken in the centre where they sit below the Terrace and rise to the north and south to reach the level of the Embankment.
Make sure to take in the peacefulness of your surroundings. Take a stroll around the gardens and enjoy the stunning landscape and greenery of the gardens, whilst you spend the day with your loved ones.
This event will be a great opportunity to make memories with your friends, spend quality time with your family and meet the people from your community.
Everyone is wecome, grandparents, family, friends and children!
So come and join the community for the games day afternoon at the gardens on Saturday 13 May.
