Local Wildlife Site

Wildlife

Among the many mature trees are a high proportion of native species, such as silver birch, London Plane, hornbeam, ash, yew, holly and sessile oak. Exotic species include tree-of-heaven, hybrid black-poplar, common lime and sycamore. Dense planted shrubberies around the perimeter also include some native species, such as hazel, dogwood and hawthorn. A small fenced area located on the east side of the children's playground supports dense scrub and a second fenced area in the north-west corner of the park supports trees and tall herbs. The trees and shrubs provide nesting habitat for a range of common garden birds such as blackbird, robin and starling.
