Acer saccharinum
However, the park is also rich in trees less common in London. Opposite the entrance to the art gallery is a Walnut tree ("Juglans regia") and a series of three or four Silver Maples ("Acer saccharinum"). There is as also a Red Oak ("Quercus rubra") close to these maples. Next to the duck pond and the garden area there are three Swamp Cypresses ("Taxodium distichum"), although without the distinctive wooden 'knees' which sometimes surround trees of this variety.
