Bute Park is Cardiff's biggest city centre public park. It was created as the private garden to Cardiff Castle between 1873 and 1901 by head gardener Andrew Pettigrew for the third Marquess of Bute. In 1947, a large part of the grounds was given to the people of Cardiff by the fifth Marquess of Bute, along with Cardiff Castle and Sophia Gardens. Further portions of land were bought and leased by the council to create an extensive park. The Victorian garden layout still exists, though since 1947 the park has been extensively planted with trees to form the Bute Park Arboretum.
