Abingdon Marina Park – Sometimes an Island

Abingdon Marina Park
Abingdon Marina Park can be reached by walking along South Quay. The park has waterside views back across the marina to the houses and long boats of the marina development.

The park has a large green area in the centre with trees and a circular walk round what feels like a island. When the bottom of South Quay floods it becomes an island. At other times it has a path accessible by all.

The River Thames is on the other side and a channel connects Marina and Thames.

You will see mostly dog walkers down that way. It is also used for health walks, and is a place where you can find your own space.

P.S Rewrote this piece as it did not look right on re-reading. Apology for the offence to all overs of this park.
