Par-La-Ville Park |
|
|
Located in the heart of Hamilton City, Par-La-Ville is a beautiful park like an oasis with trees, shaded gardens and walkways.
This is often a favorite place for the office goers or even school children for taking lunch.
This garden was planned by William B. Perot who was the first Post Master of Bermuda.
His house in the park, is now the Bermuda Historical Society Museum and also the National Library.

Par-la Ville park Bermuda
![]() |
As you walk along the mosaic walkways, you will see rock gardens, flower beds and shady trees all around. There are wooden benches as well.
In the 19th Century, this park used to be an orange orchard. Some 40,000 boxes of orange were once exported to Boston from here.
You will also see huge rubber trees at the entrance that were brought in from British Guyana and planted in 1847.
Par-la Ville park has three entrances. If you take the Parla Ville Road entrance, you will pass through Bermuda's oldest limestone Moongate. Moongates are arches that bring good luck for those (particularly couples) who pass though them.
