Trowbridge Community Sensory Garden, an award winning voluntary run garden is behind the Town Hall and was created as a permanent memorial of the Millenium.

Trowbridge Park…Until 1886 there had been no open space in Trowbridge. It was in this year that the grounds of the Limes (a large house belonging to the Hall family and on the site where the Town Hall now is) were leased. They were bought in 1887 as the People’s Park.

The Park is very much in the heart of the town and is the location for many major musical and community events, including the West Wilts Show which happens biannually. Trowbridge Park also has excellent floodlit all weather tennis and basket ball courts, a bowling green, miniature golf and a well-equipped children’s play area.
