A bandstand surrounded by four pavilions, known as the Rotunda, lies in the centre of the park. The pavilions house a café, changing rooms, toilets and park running and tennis clubs. The bandstand hosts concerts and other events throughout the summer.[3] Norwich parkrun takes place every Saturday morning, which has had over 400 events with an average of nearly 400 runners per run.[4] It is 80 acres in area.
