Maldon, Promenade Park

Located on the sloping bank of the river Blackwater, Maldon's Promenade Park has been a popular leisure location for over a hundred years. Avenues of mature trees and recreation areas lead down to the ornamental lake complete with fountains and resident swans and other birds and wildlife. Smaller children will love the sand pit which is located at one end of the lake. The pit is adjacent to one of the many refreshment kiosks in the park so you can relax with a cup of tea and watch the kids enjoying themselves. If you fancy a bit of crazy putting, you will find the Pirates Bay Adventure Golf adjacent to the Splash Park (currently closed). The Petting zoo is open for close up animal encounters. At the opposite end of the park you will find a childrens playgound together with a maze and wildlife area. There is a slope from the coach park to the riverside and a slope into town too...but easily accessible  for the shops in Maldon.
