A successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Board has enabled the restoration of the gardens and its built facilities. Works included the re-establishment of the original vistas from the Manor House, the introduction of a walled flower garden, the restoration of the lake and installation of a fountain. In addition the original ice-house has been restored and is open to the public on request. Other new features include a popular cafeteria, multi-sports ball court and tennis courts as well as a children's playground.
The restored park was officially opened on 11 June 2000. The Gardens have been awarded the highly prestigious Green Flag Award, designed to reward standards of excellence in parks and green spaces, in 2005/6 for the fourth consecutive year. The park is a 'key' park patrolled by on-site park keepers.
