Weather allowing, a Christmas concert is also held, when the park rings out with carols and gospel music. The concerts usually start at about 6 PM and last for 2 hours. When dark falls, in the winter months, the bandstand and the trees are lit with white lights, adding magical ambiance to the festivities. We love these concerts because they give us an opportunity to come together as a community and to enjoy top entertainment from our local musicians. Local band, Legacy, is very popular, as is Shine Hayward, who plays a mean saxophone.
Concerts are free.
Check The Royal Gazette for notices of these concerts. A terrace leads down to a sunken garden where roses grow. A group of dwarf date palms stand together much like a family of kids posing awkwardly for a photograph. But there are tall palms, as well, and very royal they are too. Graceful mahogany trees add a touch of dark green to the landscape, while pink frangipani trees and plumbago bushes add pink, white and blue to the park's palette.
