National Botanical Gardens

Expansive park & event venue

More an expanse of grassy parkland dotted with trees than a botanical garden, the National Botanical Gardens nevertheless offer Bajan families a great place to picnic, relax, exercise and have fun.

Since the gardens were only opened in 2019, they are very much a work in progress, but you can still see a variety of fruit trees and shrubs.

With free entry and easy access, the gardens are busy at weekends. They are also a popular outdoor venue for major Crop Over and other events.
