Rosegarth Square - the gateway to Boston’s Heart
The Rosegarth Square Public Realm project is an ambitious initiative aimed at transforming the heart of Boston by improving connectivity, particularly enhancing east-to-west links within the Town Centre. This project has created a vibrant and high-quality public realm that enriches the experience for residents, businesses, and visitors alike, while also encouraging further investment into the town.
At the core of the project is the development of Rosegarth Square, a new public park designed to reflect Boston’s rich maritime and trade heritage. The design language of the park, inspired by the flowing forms of water, textiles, and barley, aims to create a sense of movement and tranquillity. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the park features ecological enhancements, including birdhouses, bat boxes, and insect hotels, fostering biodiversity and supporting local wildlife.
Strategically located within the Town Centre, the project strengthens connections to key landmarks, such as St Botolph’s Church (Boston Stump), the Market Place, and Boston’s rail and bus stations. The development addresses the current vehicular dominance of the area by transforming parking areas and coach drop-off areas into inviting pedestrian-friendly spaces. Improved lighting and CCTV systems ensures safety and accessibility, while minimising environmental impact.
By revitalising the area and respecting its historical context, the project not only seeks to enhance the everyday experience of those who live and work in Boston but also aims to attract new visitors and businesses, thereby contributing to the ongoing regeneration of the town.
This space was officially opened by Councillor Dale Broughton on September 19th 2026. With Rosegarth View and the 44 space cark park opened in October 2026.
This new outdoor space creates a new multi-functional space that stretches from St Botolph’s footbridge to the Len Medlock Centre allowing it to become the gateway to the heart of Boston.
