Reviews
"Sydney Gardens is a historical park near to the Holburne Museum at one end of Bath. It has the Temple of Minerva within the garden. Jane Austen visited Sydney Gardens while staying in Bath. The park has a children's playground and tennis courts. The Garden Cafe at the Holburne Museum is close by for tea coffee cakes and light lunches. The canal is accessible from the gardens."
"Super wooden play structures in the play areas for children. Basketball shooters for older children. Tennis courts also. Large sand pit area with water pump and a wooden castle climbing structure for younger children. Great to have a Wessex Water free water refill for your bottles. Still get a wave from the train drivers while you wait on the bridge for the trains coming into Bath. The wonderful canal bridge just a bit further on. A lovely park for families."
"This is a beautiful garden with many different historical pieces. I highly recommend you take advantage of the Mayor's corps of honorary guides to take a free tour through this garden. This garden was originally built in 1970 something and were funded by the public through a shares program. If you are not interested n the history, just take a nice walk. These are pleasure gardens after all."
"Lovely public area and only a few minutes away from the city centre. Watch the trains and canal boats or just enjoy the gardens."
