    Great fun for kids

    Beautiful park, well maintained and peaceful. Then right in the heart is a very well thought play area with lots of separate sections catering for all ages of children all surrounded by lovely golden sand. Will definitely go back it was great!

    Extremely pleasant linear park parallel to the sea shore.

    If you park near the Metropole Hotel there is a pleasant walk into the centre of Folkestone through this linear park.

    You can park very close to the park (on the same level as it), but you’d have to type the park into your satnav to direct you as it’s not easy to find. If you did this then it’s a very short walk to the playground on a flat... More
