Tennis Courts, St Ann's Well Gardens
St Ann's Well Gardens is home to a wide range of native and exotic trees. These give the gardens their unique character and provide shelter and tranquillity for wildlife. Nature conservation has a high profile with designated fenced off areas, a stream bed and a well stocked pond with a biological filter system.

The park is probably most famous for its 'Chalybeate' (iron bearing) spring, later known as St Ann's Well. The Chalybeate spring is also the starting point of a ley line that continues over the South Downs and beyond.

In 1908 the authorities purchased the gardens for £10,000 and they were opened to the public on Empire Day in 1908.
