Looking for a central location to hold a group meeting? How about catching up on some of your reading at a riverside bench? We have some of the University's best study spots.

The Gaffield Children's Garden is a place for exploration and fun in a natural setting specially constructed from a kids'-eye view, a place that invites discovery with all the senses. Here, children can climb into an over-sized bird nest and pretend they’re a hatchling, wend their way through a maze, discover magical creatures in a fairy and troll knoll, or just get their hands dirty in a digging pit.

The garden also features a butterfly and hummingbird garden to attract these winged beauties in all their life stages, a builders’ garden, a water-play zone, habitats hiking trail, and much more.
