Ellington Park History and Heritage

Along with the information about the park which has been a public park since 1893 there will be performances by the Elli Park Players who have created a costumed walk featuring historical characters attached to the park (and original estate land), since Roman times to the present day. There will also be the miniature steam train running from our own park station Ellington Halt, courtesy of RaDMEC.Co.UK Within this beautiful park there is a cafe with fully accessible toilet facilities (open Tues-Sun 10am-4pm), a quiet wildlife area with a pond, an all inclusive children's play area, Trim Trail exercise area and our second-hand book shop selling a wide variety of reference books and fiction. Ellington Park has just concluded judging for the prestigious Green Flag and Heritage Site Awards which we hope to retain for the 4th year running.
There is only limited nearby street parking but Ramsgate train station is just 5 mins walk as well as two Loop bus-stops (Ashburnham Road and Wilfred Road). The park is full accessible via four entrances and free to all to enter. We look forward to welcoming you!
