King Edward Memorial Park is a terraced public park facing south across the Thames at Shadwell, Wapping. The park provides 3.3 hectares of green space, mainly formal in landscape structure, with a range of sports and play opportunities. The park is situated alongside a densely developed inner city area. The local landscape benefits significantly from a close proximity to the River Thames and the former dock realm which has been regenerated to provide recreational and ornamental water areas and public space. The Thames forms the southern boundary of the park. The park has a variety of landscape features including lawns, meadow areas, shrub and perennial beds. Mature shrubs and trees give the park an established feel. The park is used for various sports, with a bowling green and pavilion, tennis courts, and ball games area. Lawn areas provide for informal sports and relaxation and there is an equipped play area.
