Explore the Local Nature Reserve.
Wander around the park.
Visit website for Tree trail, virtual Fly Tour. Entering Haslam Park from Blackpool Rd through wrought iron gates leads onto an avenue of Lime trees. These are two of the original features dating from the park's construction in 1910 designed by architect Thomas Mawson. The avenue also includes a drinking fountain and gated stone steps, also designed by Mawson. The rose garden is a later addition though in keeping with Mawson's original plan.
