Ventnor Park

Address: Park Avenue, Ventnor, PO38 1LB

This is a beautiful spot to relax, listening to music, with a picnic. Bands play here at the traditional Victorian bandstand (that was salvaged from the long-gone pier) and a variety of acts play here throughout the summer at weekends. A little stream runs through the beautifully kept grounds and this is home to a friendly family of ducks (well fed by Ventnor residents). There is also an outdoors gym here, if you’ve overindulged on the cream tea front. Plus there’s a great putting green and little café.

In the summer, the Park becomes part of the Ventnor Fringe, and used for family fun and art shows.
