Riverside Boat Launch Park Improvements - London
Official title: Riverside boat launch park
London is redesigning Riverside Boat Launch Park on the Thames River. The plan includes accessible pathways, river lookouts, a shade structure, canoe racks, and gathering spaces. The park will also support paddling access and the scattering of funeral ashes.
Why This Matters
Use this park for kayaking or canoeing? The new design makes it easier to get on the water. Live nearby? You'll get new pathways, lookouts, and gathering spots along the river. The park will also become an official location for scattering funeral ashes.
What Could Change
The existing boat ramp will be upgraded for better accessibility. New paved pathways, river lookouts, and a shade structure will be built. Parking will be expanded with accessible spaces. Native trees will be planted and ecological restoration work will happen along the riverbank.
Key Issues
