Devonport Park is a historic public park located between the suburbs of Devonport and Stoke in the City of Plymouth. Devonport Park lies on the north-east edge of the historic dockyard of Devonport and is owned and managed by Plymouth City Council.  The former park nursery is operated separately by Plymouth Social Services as an adult training centre, and the former Higher Lodge is let on a long lease as a care home for the elderly with access along a park footpath from Fore Street.  The whole area isregistered as a Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest by English Heritage. The park includes a number of sports facilities including tennis courts, football pitches, a bowling green, and a play area.

 

The park’s inclusion on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest, means that it has been identified as having historic significance on a national level as a good surviving example of a Victorian public park, with a wealth of regionally and nationally important monuments.  However, it is of especial historic significance to the people of Devonport and Plymouth, a fundamental part of the history of the dockyard, the development of the town of Devonport, and a product of the local community, with monuments reflecting the importance placed on nautical and military history.
