South Park ‘Musical Dragonfly’
STEVE TOMLINSON
Reflecting on the leisure and fun of the park, ‘Musical Dragonfly’ (in reference to the bandstand) is made from acid etched galvanised steel.
The dragonfly rests on a hornlike shape with feet of forged ‘musical notes’, a body like a tin whistle and wings with trumpet like ‘valves’.

South Park bandstand - Peter Giroux
Did you Know?
South Park, originally known as Belasses Park and then the People’s Park, was planted with commemorative trees in 1863 to celebrate the marriage of Prince Edward (later King Edward VII) and again later for the coronation of George V in 1911. It is a magnificent example of the very best type of Victorian municipal park, and is Grade II listed.
