The park facilities, widely used by both local people and tourists, include a rotunda, children’s play equipment, a jetty and provisions for craft fairs such as the Easter Fair. Pantomimes and Village Theatre performances are also held. Across the river, the John Clark Memorial Bandstand provides entertainment in an exceptional setting. To the north of the Bridge, still on the town side, is Thornton Park, which also has a rotunda and manicured lawns sweeping down to the river edge.
Berridge Park is part of the Denmark River Reserve which extends down to the Wilson Inlet. The Park has a more formal appearance with manicured lawns and well appointed facilities designed to attract numerous visitors.
The park has historic, aesthetic and social heritage significance. Berridge Park includes the parklands along the Denmark River, south of the Denmark Traffic Bridge on the town side. It is named in honour of Percy Berridge who lived in Denmark for many years. Mr Berridge was once a gardener on the staff of the Queen of England and kept a beautiful garden in the grounds of the Butter Factory.
