Rockingham Road Pleasure Park was provided for the people of Kettering in 1894 and it means as much to us today as it did back then.

We love our park and consider it as the heart of our community! We hope that you do too. If you are reading this then you are already a Friend of Rockingham Road Pleasure Park!

Our Green Flag Park Our Community-Be Part Of It! Our Online Community

With the help and support of the local community our park regained the Green Flag Award on July 25th 2011. (Click for the Evening Telegraph article).

We can all help to maintain the high standard of our park. To report any problems please email customerservices@kettering.gov.uk .

Please let get in touch!

Enjoy Our park!

Whatever the weather enjoy; a walk along the tree lined promenade and recreation area, the substantial (dog free) children's play area (play equipment, football posts, BMX track), a quick game of 'pitch and put' or bowls.

And in the summer, bring a picnic and soak up the sounds of local bands who perform on the iconic bandstand.

FORRPP Chairperson's plea: "Please remember that in these austere times, public bodies (e.g. councils & police) deploy resources based upon statistics, so if we all report problems we see locally (via the links below) then we build up the stats in our favour and there is more chance of something being done to rectify problems!"
