Eating lunch on a shaded bench is how Hamilton uses this park, and you can do the same between the ferry and the shops, with koi pools and sculpture along the paths.

Visiting

Walking in from Par-la-Ville Road takes you under the island's oldest limestone moongate. Mosaic paths wind past flower beds and rock gardens to the royal poinciana at the centre and a linked pair of pools stocked with koi and goldfish.

Pieces from the Bermuda National Gallery's collection line the paths as the John H. Young and Hilda Young Sculpture Garden, and wild chickens wander the lawns. The Historical Society and the library sit by the far gate.

Leave by the Queen Street gate, beside the Perot Post Office, and the ferry is across the road.

Know before you goOlder maps and guides call it Par-la-Ville Park; a plaque near the main entrance marks the change of name. The City also hires the park out for events.
