This beautiful fountain was donated by James Craig esq. in 1927.

The water fountain is many years old.

The water fountain is made of fine Italian marble.

The gazebo is like a Chinese house which shelters you from the rain. It is used for weddings and sometimes picnics.

The Gazebo has stained glass on the roof and walls.

 

 

The picnic areas have plenty of shady trees and green grass for overseas tourists, families and old-age pensioners to sit under and on. There are seven picnic areas throughout the Gardens.

The rose garden is taken care of by workers who dead-head the flowers, and weed and hoe the beds to keep them looking pretty. It is often used for wedding photos.
