Play space Consultation, Esplanade Gardens, Rochester

Esplanade Gardens is a large, linear open space next to the River Medway and near Rochester High Street.

It has:

• a formal garden
• a play area
• an outdoor gym
• an informal grass area
• spectacular views of the river.

Our project aims to improve visitor facilities in the gardens.

It’s funded by contributions for a nearby development. We will receive funding in stages over the next few years.

Currently we are planning to:

• completely refurbish the play area
• resurface pathways that are in poor condition
• improve the plant beds and seating areas
• introduce new and updated signage.

Public consultation

We’re consulting on improvements to be made to the play area.

We want to renew the current play area and create an accessible, nature-inspired space around the river.

Please read our consultation slides before completing our survey.
