Musgrave Park Therapy Garden

Musgrave Park also contains an innovative therapy garden which combines different therapeutic features in one space.

A 'whispering' wall is the central focus of the garden. This is fitted with acoustic equipment and a mosaic finish to encourage sensory, stimulatory and interactive play.

Other features include: a story circle and meeting area a willow tunnel a sand play area bed for planting designed with disabled access.

The therapy garden has been made possible through the support from the European Union's European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - PEACE III.

The aim of this project was to bring a permanent facility which improves quality of life, development and wellbeing of local residents. We developed the garden with support from several nearby schools.

We will be adding more features to the garden in spring 2012 including musical instruments, community artwork and more play equipment.
