130 years ago today, on June 20th 1894 Roath Park was officially opened by the Earl of Dumfries (the son of the Marquis of Bute).

To mark the anniversary, our parks team decided to 'push the boat out' and create a special bedding display by the lake.

Here it is in 1961. Clearly closed because it was so unpopular.

@SarahNicholas Thanks for the thought. Yes I do already know about it but have a family do on the same day. Am hoping someone I know will attend and report back!
