The sign at the Mossel Bay Bowls Club and Tennis Club entrance to Harry Giddy Park. "The kiss of the sun for pardon The song of the bird for mirth One is nearer God's heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth."

The historic gates at the southern entrance of Harry Giddy Park were erected in 1903 to commemorate the Jubilee of the reign of Queen Victoria of Britain.

The Park was first laid out as Victoria Park in the grand English manner in 1887.  In the 1940’s it was extensively upgraded by Harry Giddy, after whom it was renamed.
