Howard Davis Park — Attraction in Saint Saviour

What an unexpected nice surprise! I found his place accidentally on the way to somewhere else.

For some reason, this park wasn't mentioned in any of my research as a tourist, maybe because it's a municipal park with free public access and doesn't qualify as an attraction. But, please don't let that put you off.
