Park building improvements

We are supporting our communities by continuing to invest in our parks. During 2024, improvements were made the park buildings, including:

  • new café
  • public toilets
  • ‘Changing Places’ room
  • grounds maintenance office

The sports changing rooms hut has also been refurbished inside and out, with a ‘living green roof’. A solar PV roof provides electricity to the new café building and an air source heat pump heats the rooms.

History of Kensington Memorial Park

Kensington Memorial Park has been a public park since 1926 when it was opened to the public by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll.

The land was bought in 1923 with funds provided by the Kensington War Memorial Committee. They wanted to create a suitable tribute to those who had given their lives in World War 1.
