5 /5 A OB: A beautiful park and once a secret garden. Still known to locals as Hayes Botanical Gardens.
It used to be little known but over the last ten to fifteen years has been the focus of vandalism and litter.
The pond was wrecked one evening by Yahoo from the local Beck Theatre who discharged its fire extinguishers over one another and then discarded the empty red containers into the pond.
On a different occasion the young Maple sapling was uprooted and destroyed. Sad days.
Hayes Botanical Gardens. Depending on the time of day one can still find peace there.
