Grove Park & Jill's Garden

About

Grove Park is a beautiful park incorporating Jill's Garden, in memory of local TV presenter, Jill Dando.

The northern area is on higher ground and has a children's play area which has many paths and steps leading to it.

To the north-west there is an attractive rock garden with several pools. The house at the centre of the park is the Weston-super-Mare Town Council headquarters. 

A war memorial dominates a rectangular garden to the west of the house (which was bombed during the war). A second memorial to the civilian casualties of the wars stands at the northern end of this area. The war memorial was unveiled on 11th May, 1922.

There is a circular pond and a bandstand to the south which in the summer seasons hosts free music events.

At the bottom of the park is a pay and display car which has a total number of 80 car spaces which includes 5 disabled bays.

Grove Park is recognised as perhaps the finest of Weston-super-Mare's parks. It is well-maintained by the local authority and well-used by the public.
