The Bois Pleasance is a large area of parkland that has been set aside by the local authority as a place of rest and relaxation for the people of the town. A great deal of the area has been left to lay fallow in order to attract a large amount of wild flowers and plants to grow in the area. This in turn has made a whole new environment of animals and birds who have made their home on the parkland and can be observed on an afternoon stroll.
