The Lower Wildlife Area
Description
This area covers the site of the original paddling pool which has had the base broken and has been filled with top soil. This area has been allowed to seed naturally and provides a small wild area in the lower part of the park.
Current condition
This area is now under the management of the Friends of Lowndes Park. The nettles and docks have not been eliminated but have been restricted to allow other native species to get a look in. Paths have been created to allow the public to wander through and observe the wild life.
News & Events
We have had reports of a pike in Skottowes Pond. We haven’t seen it, have you? Please report any sightings to us via the Contact Us page.
The next Friends of Lowndes Park working party will be on Sunday 9 June 2013. We meet at 10am in the Archena Garden which is next to the Temperance Hall in Church Street.
Why not come and listen to some great music in the Park this Summer. On a Sunday afternoon during July and August you can experience a variety of music including Jazz, Barbershop, Rock 'n' Roll and Traditional Brass Band and all for free. We would recommend you bring a picnic and a deckchair. For further details go to the Town Hall website
