Saumarez Park is the largest public park in Guernsey and is managed by the States of Guernsey Agriculture, Countryside and Land Management Service. The park is attractive all year round with many fine trees planted around open green areas and formal gardens. It is very popular with families, with many facilities for young and old. Attractions include:
- an adventure playground and outdoor gym
- the National Trust of Guernsey Folk and Costume Museum
- Victorian Walled Kitchen Garden (a restoration project being carried out by the Guernsey Botanical Trust)
- formal gardens including a rose garden
- a Japanese Fishing Hut and pond
- Café
- collections of plants from the Far East including camellia and bamboo
As well as being an important social venue, the Park and nearby Saumarez Nature Trail also provide valuable habitats for wildlife, particularly birds, and are sympathetically managed to maintain their rich biodiversity.
