Christchurch Park

Christchurch Park is a historical area of rolling lawns, wooded areas, and delicately created arboreta close to the town centre in Ipswich, Suffolk. The park hosts various facilities such as a children's play area, tennis courts, table tennis, bowling greens, and outdoor gym equipment. The distinguished Tudor house, Christchurch Mansion, is located at the park's southern entrance and holds a public museum and art gallery. The park contains memorials to the Ipswich Martyrs and a war memorial to servicemen lost during the Boer War and World War I. The Upper and Lower Arboreta within Christchurch Park are the horticultural gem of Ipswich, providing inspiration to gardeners and a tranquil setting for relaxation and reflection. Visitors can enjoy the formal gardens, which are planted with seasonal bedding displays, rose and shrub beds, an island herbaceous bed, formal carpet bedding, and a large rockery. The park also offers a band stand, croquet lawns, and a tea room. The park plays host to many events and activities all year round, including nature walks, arts and crafts activities, storytelling, and trails for children of all ages
