The Esplanade picnic area is located on the banks of the beautiful Derwent River.

The Esplanade picnic area has a combination of open space and is the venue for outdoor events throughout the year. There are public toilets, a fenced, sensory playground, and outdoor gym equipment for use.

Located within the fenced playground area, there are two sheltered BBQ areas equipped with accessible electric BBQs.

There are four accessible BBQ tables located on the Esplanade, one in each of the covered shelters, and one at each end of the walking track, closest to the parking areas.

Why not come and feed the local ducks something duck-friendly like lettuce, carrot, peas, or corn – never bread? Or, if you’re feeling energetic take a walk up the 99 steps along the Derwent Cliffs Walk to Tynwald Park?
