Prebend Gardens

Prebend Gardens are located within the South Highfield’s area of Leicester City. Its location within a busy residential district close to the city centre offer a valuable green space for the surrounding communities. 

The gardens were designed by Leicester City Council in 1987 in conjunction with the City Wildlife Project. The gardens were opened by the Lord Mayor of Leicester the same year. In 2005 the gardens underwent a regeneration project, again in partnership with Leicester Council Parks Services and a number of local residents who were involved in all aspects of the regeneration of the gardens from start to finish. 

The gardens offers seating throughout, a miniature sensory garden and a pond which are a haven for wildlife.

There is now an active User Group for the gardens made up of local councillors, residents and partnership agencies and the group have been working with the local Dawn Centre to help improve the garden with practical days such as replanting and litter picks.
