In the Park
Enjoy the Victorian ‘Pleasure Gardens’
Perched above Cowes with commanding views of the Solent the Park has evolved from the pleasure gardens developed by the Ward family throughout the 19th Century. Ornamental trees reflect the Victorian fashion for botanical and specimen planting. In addition to the network of paths crossing the grounds residents of Cowes can enjoy tennis, bowls and the children’s play area. Well behaved dogs are welcome.
Free Tennis Courts
As part of Northwood House Charitable Trust, our 6 tennis courts are run by a team of volunteers, who maintain them and ensure they are available for everyone. The courts are completely free to use.

Join the Bowls club
What could be more redolent of Summer than watching a bowling match in the sun or trying your hand at this quintessential British game? The Cowes Medina Bowling Club hold regular matches on the green, and welcome anyone who wants to give bowls a try.
Children’s play area
In the northeast corner of the Park a secure play area is available for young children to enjoy, swings, slide and a seesaw on a forgiving rubber surface. All residents and visitors are welcome to use the play area. We request that dogs do not enter the space.
