Jacksons field plaza

project update 19.05.2026

We've been working with landscape architects (HTA), Medway Council and the user group to review and design additional facilities at Jacksons Recreation Ground.

Part of Jacksons Field is classified as a scheduled monument which means we're restricted to what we can do in this area. Historic England have advised that we build a separate new facility away from the scheduled monument.

There will be a new facility which will offer more of a street plaza to compliment the existing skatepark. Repairs are also planned for the existing skatepark.

The below design shows the developed design based on consultation up to 19th May 2026, accompanied by the design development workshop notes, used to inform the design. This design will be progressed for planning stage.

Please take a look at the up to date proposals below and feedback your comments via the council website: www.medway.gov.uk/jacksons

project update 01.05.2026

The Canvas team met with local stakeholders and interested parties to present the initial concept design, based on the previous meeting where ideas were gathered. The design was discussed with varied users of varying disciplines. The Canvas team were then able to take the discussion notes back to the office, where we are now making the revisions. The revised design will be posted here. Please check back here for a date for posting the new design.

The public consultation for the completed design will take place on Wednesday 20th May 16.00-19.00 at:
