They are located between the walkway and the lake near the eastern edge of the park. The sundial is simple and small, possibly 12 inches in diameter, but proved to be fairly accurate the day we visited - within 15 minutes on that day.
It is set upon a stone cairn about 3 feet in height and 1.5 feet square, with a bronze plaque on an angled front face.
