If you have fond memories of Blue Peter as a child you'll understand how easy it is to become nostalgic as you step into this piece of television history. As well as the fish pond and the bust of Petra standing over her 'family' you'll notice the sense of piece and tranquillity it provides in what is a busy media environment. Though not a gardener the shrubs are beautiful. The garden is lit up at night enabling you to see the hand, feet and paw prints of presenters and pets past and present. To me it's a guilty pleasure to visit it .it provides a place to reflect and remember your blue peter days no matter who your presenters were. Beyond is the newly created walk of fame comprising of ex presenters, iconic sports men and women and Mary Berry! I think we are lucky to have this piece of memorabilia long since out of bounds to the public whilst housed at the old BBC Centre in Sheperds Bush. Well worth a visit no matter what your age. I wholly recommend it!

I visited the garden today whilst wallking around the Quays and was a little disappointed at its size as I always imagined it to be much larger. The whole area was a little neglected, dead plants were visible everywhere and the focal point pond was full of rotten vegetation and debris such as sweet wrappers and cigarette ends. Seasonal plants were not very visible much to my surprise as I expected a micro Kew Gardens. The saddest thing though was a decomposing goldfish which had been dead quite awhile by its outward appearance, being nibbled upon by his peers although I appreciate to an extent that this was nature reclaiming its own. Very disappointed. The garden needs some TLC.

Although it is a small park. It is a relaxing park with different plants in different seasons. It’s near MediaCityUK station of Metrolink. People can be relaxed here when they are waiting the tram. There are many restaurants nearby. People can take away their meal and enjoy the meal in the park. Also, there is a planting area for specific people to enjoy planting.

Was a pleasant surprise to see this on my visit to the Coronation Street tour. I’ve been a fan of Blue Peter from a young age & never expected to come across this at Media City. A great thing for fans of the show both old and new so be sure to check it out!

Looked quite neglected today on this rainy day in Salford. I appreciate that it is good this can now actually be seen by the public which is much better than when it was hidden away in London, just needs a bit of TLC.

The kids loved coming here for a visit. We went on a nice sunny morning, so maybe not as enjoyable on a wet one. Well worth a trip if your kids watch blue Peter, some nice photo oppertunities
