Marine Gardens lies on the Waterfront of Carrickfergus, a focal point along Belfast Lough and in view of Carrickfergus Castle. The Gardens and their redevelopment were split in 6 zones, among these a Play Park, a Memorial Area, Aesthetic Gardens and Clock Tower.
The existing gardens were to include an intricate array of paved routes split by planted zones. Substantial twin wall plastic land drainage was installed below all paved and planted areas tying into the upgraded site drainage.
