About
The Quarry Park is a historic public green space in the heart of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, covering 29 acres of landscaped gardens, waterways and woodland. Its centerpiece, the Dingle, is a former limestone quarry turned sunken garden that hosts flower displays, ponds and scenic pathways. The park also houses the town’s war memorial, a bandstand used for concerts and civic events, and stretches along Victoria Avenue, a tree‑lined promenade overlooking the River Severn. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, cultural festivals, family picnics or the seasonal Shrewsbury Flower Show which is held each mid‑August inside the park’s grounds.
