Wardown Park is acknowledged for its Victorian and Edwardian design elements, making it a Grade II listed park on the English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

A recent programme of restoration funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund has brought Wardown Park back to its former glory, ensuring it remains a popular destination for visitors.

Community involvement is encouraged through an active 'friends of the park' group and other user groups that make up the 'park community'. This allows locals to engage with the park and contribute to its upkeep.

Visitors can partake in formal and informal recreational activities at Wardown Park, such as picnicking, walking, and enjoying the playgrounds and sports facilities. The park offers a serene escape for families and individuals alike.
