Introduction

Pollard Park in central Blenheim is one of Marlborough's showcase public gardens, known for carefully tended borders, a rose garden and mature trees. A stream runs through it, linked by small bridges to lawns and ponds, and the paths are flat — good for strolling and picnics. The borders are at their richest in spring and early summer, while autumn brings layered colour from deciduous trees. Close to central Blenheim and the Marlborough wine country, it works well as a break between tastings and is a regular spot for local families.
