ESPLANADE ZONE

12. Eastern Gardens. Another in the series of gardens that punctuate Ryde’s seafront. A formal landscaped greenspace with potential for boosted wildlife value (as part of a coastal garden/seafront rewilding effort), public art commissioning, public events, public information and orientation connecting with the England Coastal Path.

13. Memorial Gardens. The same mix of ecological gain (in both planted and built environments), orientation between seafront and hinterland, England Coastal Path and LCWIP routes to the south, small-scale arts interventions and public information, will help to increase the cumulative impact of the sparse and fragmented green infrastructure that characterises Ryde.
