   The gardens are split into three distinct sections – Lower gardens, Central gardens and Upper gardens. The lower gardens are 5 minutes walk from the center of the city & pier. The central gardens have kids playground and tennis courts.
   The upper gardens is the most interesting with three different themes – European, Asian and North America. Here is why Bournemouth is way more than just beaches.
