The small park features a memorial stone to Nelson and two ornamental cannons and recent work has included new plants transferred from South Park Gardens in Wimbledon. The remembrance stone between the cannon reads: As a memorial of Lord Nelson and the splendid services which he rendered to his country, this land, (which formed part of his Merton Estate), was given on the first centenary of his death to the Merton Parish Council for a public recreation ground by a great nephew of the late Rear Admiral Isaac Smith of Merton Abbey. Admiral Isaac Smith was the first Englishman to set foot on Australian soil whilst part of Captain Cook's famous voyage on board HMS Endeavour. THE NELSON GARDENS
