Memory Garden

Our Memory Garden is situated at the northern end of Chatsworth Park.  You can purchase a small plaque from us to be placed on one of the posts with your own wording, to remember a partner, child, friend or even a beloved pet.  There is a small central mound where residents are encouraged to plant anything of their choice.  There are a couple of benches to sit and reflect in this tranquil setting.

It is now also possible to purchase a memorial bench to be placed in Chatsworth Park.  Further information and order forms can be found below:

Chatsworth Park

Chatsworth Park is a beautifully tranquil site which combines large open grassed spaces, lovely wooded areas, 2 children’s playgrounds and a memory garden. We ask that you help us to maintain this area by bagging and binning your dog’s poo and placing litter in the bins that are provided throughout the park.

We have started a ‘community dog poo bag share scheme’ which consists of some recycled bottles attached to lamp posts where you can add a spare bag, or take a bag if you have forgotten to take one with you.

We also have a lovely cafe concession, Wander Coffee, situated in the car park who serve delicious cakes and savouries and hot/cold drinks on Wednesday to Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Why not go along and give them a try.

Thank you

Should you wish to use Chatsworth Park for a commercial or community activity, please read our Park Use Policy first:
