Stanley Park was originally part of the grounds of Bay House and sold by a descendent of Lord Ashburton to Gosport Borough Council in 1946. It is a large open park of grass and flower beds with one path, that leading to Gomer Lane, a woodland walk. There is a walled garden named in honour of Alderman Osborn who had been responsible for the design and layout of the Borough’s public gardens and the provision of flower beds at roadsides and street corners.
The park can be entered from the road that leads to the Alverbank Hotel, from Western Way or from Gomer Lane where there is free parking
