Howard Davis Park

A very interesting park, would look great in full bloom, our visit was in November

What an unexpected nice surprise! I found his place accidentally on the way to somewhere else.

For some reason, this park wasn't mentioned in any of my research as a tourist, maybe because it's a municipal park with free public access and doesn't qualify as an attraction. But, please don't let that put you off.

It's a stone's throw from St Helier town centre and is a breath of fresh, tranquil air, both figuratively and literally. I visited the paid-entry botanical gardens nearby, but I think I better enjoyed Howard Davis' Park. It was probably because it was unexpected, but also because it is very well kept and, for a free-to-the-public park, was well groomed and laid out.

Walk around the perimeter and enjoy views across the main green from different angles. Then, dive into other areas, such as a walled garden with a water feature, pond, and war graves overseen by St Luke's Church. You'll be reaching for your camera, so make sure you clean that carrot cake off the lens before snapping away.

It has to be a solid 5 stars because its value for money (free) can't be beaten, and I spent well over an hour there, so I must have enjoyed it.

A lovely park come gardens on the edge of St Helier. Well kept clean and a pleasant walk either around or just through. The main gate takes one directly into the town centre.

Opens at 8am.
This is a pleasant park with an array of plants, flowers and trees.

There's the King George V statue at the main entrance, (there are many entrances). There's a café with toilet facilities, a bandstand and a stage. Also there's the war memorial.

No dogs or cycling allowed.

The park seemed well kept and clean. Plenty of red squirrels to be seen.

Love this park. Stunning! Great place for picnics, hayfever and the odd thieving seagull aside! Really wonderful grounds, trees and flowers stunning and and the Memorial Garden he's lovely. Children's park, public toilets and a really nice restaurant set in lovely grounds all here. The odd surprise band on an evening occasionally crops up for good measure!
