Two lunch tables. A garbage bin. A war memorial. No toilets. People playing with dogs in the parks. All 3 sides are surrounded by roads. There is now details about an old air raid terminal. Places to sit. No toilets.close to the tram station. People from the hospital come to have lunch.

A small park adjacent to the terminus of the light rail. A pleasant place away from the busy commercial area to sit & enjoy lunch, although the water fountain wasn't working & there are no public toilets.

I picked someone up from the light rail. No where to park but I managed to double park with no hassles that day.

High Cross Park is a small but well maintained area with a memorial plaza where you can sit and enjoy the outdoors, have lunch, reflect on life and learn a bit about local history. There is a memorial to air raid trenches that existed during WW2 with the outline of where they were shown by the paving design with seating and information provided. It's a beautiful spot to visit and is easily accessible by all, however its detracted by the noise from significant traffic during peak times. Very close to the light rail, retail shopping and Hospital facilities (literally across the road).

It's a little park in the middle of a very busy place so while it's restful it's not part ticularly peaceful
