Welcome to Promenade Park in Maldon, the largest waterside park in Essex, providing a fun-filled, family friendly destination all year round with amazing events and activities throughout the year. Nestled between the historic high street and Blackwater Estuary, the park features a water Splash Park, beach huts and deckchairs for hire, sandpits, galleon play ship and aerial zip-wire, model boating and crabbing lake as well as cafe kiosks and picnic areas. There's a packed programme of events and activities planned each year, or just come and enjoy the peaceful walks and beautiful sea views.
The park was opened in 1895 to provide the people of Maldon and the surrounding areas with a valuable amenity and public space. 'The Prom' as it is has become known locally, is a great place to walk, sit or play and stopping to watch the activity on the river always makes for an interesting family day out.
