Harding’s Lane Playground

If you’ve got kids who are into skating or just need somewhere to burn off energy, this one’s worth knowing about. The skate park is the real draw — it’s proper kit, not the sad little ramp you get at some parks — and there’s basketball and table tennis too if skating isn’t their thing. Football lads use it as well since there’s decent open space to spread out. Being in Gillingham means it gets a good mixed crowd, all ages turning up throughout the day. The newer equipment makes a difference and it generally feels like somewhere that’s actually looked after.
