Created through the Royal Quays regeneration project, Chirton Dene and Redburn Dene parks share a coordinated palette of materials, street furniture and detailing. Designed by Southern Green Partnership and EDAW.
Chirton Dene and Redburn Dene are sited near a busy ferry port and a new Marina, and add distinctive character and substantial amenity value to the wider regeneration scheme.
The park is lushly traditional at first sight, but closer examination reveals exciting and innovative elements, which interject art and poetry into its design.
The other incorporates significant memories of the industrial past of both site and area into its landscape design and materials, and its minimal design can be interpreted as symbolic of the loss of traditional industries in the area.
Within a stone's throw of the Meadow Well estate, notorious during the 1990s for its deprivation and riots, the parks offer quiet spaces for residents of the new houses surrounding them to enjoy their prize winning qualities in a variety of ways.
