About the park
Barton’s Point Coastal Park is an attractive park with walking
trails, cycle paths and bridle ways. The lake is available for
fishing, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and canoeing, and fishing
permits can be purchased from The Boat House Café. The Sheerness
Way cycling route runs through the park and along Queenborough
Lines. This water filled ditch fortification was originally built
in the nineteenth century to protect the dockyard from attack and
is known locally as Canal Bank. Barton’s Point is also home to the
Sheppey Model Engineering Society offering miniature steam train
rides and a field for flying model aeroplanes. The pitch and putt
golf course, and the pirate themed children's adventure play
area are popular with families all year round. During the
summer season the park has a designated area for camping, with
changing rooms, toilets and shower facilities. The Boat House Café
offers breakfast, lunches, ice creams and refreshments and is open
seven days a week throughout the year.
