Maidstone Millennium River Park
No visit to Maidstone is complete without a walk along the
Maidstone Millennium River Park, opened in 2001. This brilliant new
park along the banks of the River Medway was created by the people
of Maidstone with support from the Millennium Commission, and
includes 10km of easily accessible paths and 3 new
footbridges.
Visitors can walk the whole of its 10km length from Teston to
Allington, or take a shorter stroll along a stretch of their
choice. The park is unique in its rural character at either end and
its urban ambience as it passes through the town centre.
A brand new recreational area – Whatman Park
– boasts a variety of special features including treetop walks,
nature trail, adventure playground, skateboard park and Riverstage
arena for outside entertainment. River boat trips through the park
can be boarded from Archbishops' Palace or Allington, stopping at
Whatman Park.
