A heritage oasis in the the midst of industry and redevelopment.
This quiet, almost secret, riverside park originates from early 20th Century philanthropism. It is surrounded by wharves and heavy industry and borders on the local residential redevelopments. There is a plan to open access to the east when Royal Wharf completes a further stage of building work.
