Chalkwell Park

Chalkwell Park is a 27-hectare public green space in Chalkwell featuring diverse areas for different activities. It contains flower gardens, children's play areas, sports fields for various games, a skateboard zone, ponds, and walking paths throughout.

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council purchased the land in 1903, converting the former estate into a public recreational space. This acquisition marked the beginning of its role as a community gathering place.

Chalkwell Hall, a listed building from 1830, now operates as a venue for art exhibitions and cultural gatherings. The space attracts visitors who engage with contemporary art displays and community creative activities.

The park is accessible from Chalkwell Avenue with free parking available for visitors. Facilities for cricket, football, basketball, and tennis allow visitors to choose activities based on their interests.

The grounds host NetPark, a digital art park that blends technology with outdoor spaces. Visitors can experience interactive digital installations that mix modern creative work with the natural surroundings.
