Works to improve Riverside Gardens in Erith will begin in the Spring.
Ground Control have been contracted to deliver the improvements which include a new playground and outdoor fitness equipment on the riverside terrace.
New planting will be added, including a dedicated growing space for the Friends of Riverside Gardens, increasing biodiversity and improving the drainage in the Gardens and along Erith High Street.
A new ramp will make the route between the gardens and the Thames Path accessible for all users, while the reconfiguration of ground levels will make it easier to move around within the gardens and provide better views across the River Thames.
The works to enhance Riverside Gardens follow the recent completion of improvements at Pier Square and on Erith High Street and are part of the wider Greater Erith programme.
The programme is being funded by the London Borough of Bexley and the Greater London Authority through the Good Growth Fund.
