The bandstand is octagonal, with fluted iron columns supporting a tiled roof. It stands on a brick plinth, and is approached up steps on the north side.

Bailey Park is an urban park with a grand entrance with gates and railings at the south-east side. There is marginal ornamental planting of beeches, and evergreens with footpaths. The grassed central area incorporates playing fields, a bowling green and a bandstand. At the north end is a small formal garden, a disused lido dated 1939, and derelict greenhouses.
