Pollard Park
Blenheim’s most beautiful urban park, with a prize-winning rose garden, a stream with small bridges, and golden trees in autumn.
Pollard Park lies just north of the city center and connects with the neighboring Waterlea Gardens. It has a prize-winning rose garden, a Japanese-style footbridge, a rhododendron garden and wide lawns. In autumn, the maples and oaks turn gold, making for beautiful scenery. The park has a children’s playground, tennis courts and a driving range, and it is where locals picnic and stroll on weekends. Admission is free. It is about a 10-minute walk from Seymour Square.
