The Hidden Gem
Hillworth Park is often described as the ‘hidden gem’ of Devizes. Nestling between Hillworth Road and Queens Road the park has an interesting history, starting life as a private landscaped garden and only coming into public ownership in 1945.
The park has been transformed, with a contemporary, fresh, look it is now even more of a gem, but rather than being hidden, it is shouting “I’m here, come and enjoy me”. Please do.
The Park Centre
With its high roof clad in cedar shingles, wooden screens and sustainable construction, the Park Centre is a beautiful addition to the park.
The design compliments the nearby 18th Century Garden Pavilion and along with the water feature, planting, and views of the park this makes a lovely place to sit, relax, and enjoy the ambience.
There are wardens dedicated to looking after the park, say hello if you see them; if you would like to speak to them and they are not in the park then you’ll probably find them in the park office.
