Bernie Spain Gardens
This riverside park was named Bernie Spain Gardens after Bernadette Spain, one of the original Coin Street Action Group campaigners.
The park stretches between the riverside and Stamford Street bordered by Oxo Tower Wharf and Gabriel's Wharf and straddles Upper Ground.
A regular venue for public events, notably the summer Coin Street Festival series of free cultural extravaganzas.
The park was built by - and is now owned and managed by - Coin Street Community Builders.
