Overview

Building Biodiversity and Community Connections

Riverside Park is an ambitious regeneration scheme at the heart of Riverside Sunderland. Appointed by Sunderland City Council, the project will transform 13.7 hectares of parkland and 5.3 hectares of riverfront into vibrant green spaces.

The scheme includes Kingsley Gardens, a community-managed growing space, and Galley’s Gill, which will feature ponds, play areas, and a skate park. Riverside Park will reconnect the city with the River Wear, offering spaces for leisure, biodiversity, and community wellbeing.

As a local contractor, Esh is proud to support Sunderland City Council in the transformation of the city, unlocking lasting benefits for residents and visitors alike through local employment, supply chain opportunities, and social value initiatives.
