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 will create 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 will feature ecological enhancements, including birdhouses, bat boxes, and insect hotels, fostering biodiversity and supporting local wildlife.
Strategically located within the Town Centre, the project will strengthen connections to key landmarks, such as St Botolph’s Church (Boston Stump), the Market Place, and Boston’s rail and bus stations. The development will address 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 will ensure 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 new outdoor space will create 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.

Footpath Reopening
The footpath is reopening at RosegarthSquare in Boston!
In the first part of this phased approach, from Tuesday 5 May you will be able to walk though the site from St George’s Road Car Park towards the St Botolph’s Bridge (following the red paths on the map below).
Our second phase will then come into action from Monday 25 May, after works have been completed on “The Wave” and the restoration of the historic Five Lamps (these are marked on the map below by the blue paths).
During this time, works will still be continuing on site getting the final finishing touches to the regenerated public realm so fencing will still be in place and workers will be using the site.
If you are a business owner and are not already receiving our stakeholder updates and you would like to be added or you have any project questions please email, rosegarthsquare@boston.gov.uk.
