The Park contains a number of interesting natural features, some of which are of great antiquity. The fossilised remains of a Club Moss Tree, a Lepidodendron, dated back to the Devonian period, some 320 million years ago, is located in the path which leads from the Cafeteria down to the lake. This fossilised tree was given to the Park by John Knott when he was Mayor of Crewe in 1888/9.

 

Perhaps the oldest and oddest natural item in the Park could be classed as "unnatural". Again along Coronation Walk is to be found a piece of Aberdeen granite. This was brought here by the glaciers of the Ice age, and was discovered during the excavations within the old part of the railway company works.
