Our Arboretum
All the planting in the Arboretum has been made possible through the generosity of friends and supporters of Jubilee Park, often as a celebration of the life and memories of a loved one, or by local organisations that have enjoyed the park’s open spaces and facilities over the years. These dedications will be held on this page for future generations.
